Purpose – In an earlier paper (Turkyilmazoglu, 2011a), the author introduced a new optimal variational iteration method. The idea was to insert a parameter into the classical variational iteration formula in an aim to prevent divergence or to accelerate the slow convergence property of the classical approach. The purpose of this paper is to approve the superiority of the proposed method over the traditional one on several physical problems treated before by the classical variational iteration method. Design/methodology/approach – A sufficient condition theorem with an upper bound for the error is also presented to further justify the convergence of the new variational iteration method. Findings – The optimal variational iteration method is found to be useful for heat and fluid flow problems. Originality/value – The optimal variational iteration method is shown to be convergent under sufficient conditions. A novel approach to obtain the optimal convergence parameter is introduced.

AbstractThe study of oscillating flow of a Couple Stress fluid past a permeable sphere is considered. Analytical solution for the flow field in terms of stream function is obtained using modified Bessel functions. The formula for Drag acting on the sphere due external flow is evaluated. Pressure field for the flow region past and inside the sphere is obtained. Effects of physical parameters like couple stress parameter, permeability, frequency and geometric parameters on the drag due to internal and external flows are represented graphically. It is observed that the drag for viscous fluid flow will be less than the case of couple-stress fluid flow and hence couple stress fluids offer resistance for flow.

In this paper, an application of He’s variational iteration method is applied to solve nonlinear integro-differential equations. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method. The results show that the method provides a straightforward and powerful mathematical tool for solving various nonlinear integro-differential equations
