Abstract: In the present article, a quadratic B-spline finite element Galerkin method has been used to obtain numerical solutions of the nonlinear time fractional gas dynamics equation. While the Caputo form is used for the time fractional derivative appearing in the equation, the L1 discretization formula is applied to the equation in time. A numerical example is given and the obtained results show the accuracy and efficiency of the method. Therefore, the present method can be used as an efficient alternative one to find out the numerical solutions of other both linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations available in the literature.
