Abstract: In this paper, homotopy analysis transform method has been applied to obtain the approximate analytical solution of the shallow water equations with time-fractional derivatives. The interesting point is manifested in its emphatic application of k-fractional Riemann-Liouville time derivatives on the classical equations with an achievement of the highly accurate solutions by the known series solutions.

Keywords: approximate analytical solution; fractional shallow water wave equations; homotopy analysis method; k-fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative; Laplace transform.
