Summary

Purpose This paper aims to directly extend the homotopy perturbation method to study the coupled Burgers equations with time‐ and space‐fractional derivatives. Design/methodology/approach The realistic numerical solutions were obtained in a form of rapidly convergent series with easily computable components. Findings The figures show the effectiveness and good accuracy of the proposed method. Originality/value The paper obtains realistic numerical solutions in a form of rapidly convergent series with easily computable components. It shows the effectiveness and good accuracy of the proposed method.
