This research is aimed at presenting the two-dimensional steady fluid flow, represented by Williamson constitutive model past a nonlinear exponential stretching sheet theoretically. The system of ODEs describing the physical problem is successfully solved numerically with the help of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Special attention is given to study the convergence analysis of the proposed method. The influences of the physical governing parameters acting on the fluid velocity and the fluid temperature are explained with the help of the figures and tables. Further, the presented numerical method is employed to calculate both the rate of heat transfer and the drag force for the Williamson fluid flow. In particular, it is observed that both the Eckert number and the dimensionless convective parameter have the effect of enhancing the temperature of the stretching surface, while the inverse was noted for the dimensionless mixed convection parameter. Finally, the comparison with previous numerical investigations of other authors at some special cases which is reported here proves that the results obtained via homotopy perturbation method are accurate and the numerical method is reliable.

This paper outlines a comprehensive study of the fluid-flow in the presence of heat and mass transfer. The governing non-linear ODE are solved by means of the homotopy perturbation method. A comparison of the present solution is also made with the existing solution and excellent agreement is observed. The implementation of homotopy perturbation method proved to be extremely effective and highly suitable. The solution procedure explicitly elucidates the remarkable accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

This work investigates the mathematical model and solution for an unsteady MHD fourth grade fluid flow over a vertical plate in a porous medium with the effects of the magnetic field and suction/injection parameters using Homotopy Perturbation Method. The flow is considered to satisfy the constitutive equations of fourth grade fluid flow model and because of the Homotopy Perturbation Method used, only the momentum equation with initial and boundary conditions are solved as governing equations. After initializing stability test, the convergence of the governing equations are observed graphically using the results of Homotopy Perturbation Method with the new analytical method used by Yurusoy in literature and there is a perfect agreement in results. The impact of dimensionless second, third and fourth grade parameters with the effects of magnetic field and suction/injection parameters on the velocity field are displayed graphically and discussed. Increase in suction parameter decreases the momentum boundary layer thickness while injection parameter enhances velocity distribution in the boundary layer. Magnetic field reduces velocity throughout the boundary layer because the Lorentz force which acts as retarding force reduces the boundary layer thickness.

This chapter presents the applications of perturbation methods such as regular and homotopy perturbation methods to thermal, fluid flow and dynamic behaviors of engineering systems. The first example shows the utilization of regular perturbation method to thermal analysis of convective-radiative fin with end cooling and thermal contact resistance. The second example is concerned with the application of homotopy perturbation method to squeezing flow and heat transfer of Casson nanofluid between two parallel plates embedded in a porous medium under the influences of slip, Lorentz force, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. Additionally, the dynamic behavior of piezoelectric nanobeam embedded in linear and nonlinear elastic foundations operating in a thermal-magnetic environment is analyzed using homotopy perturbation method which is presented in the third example. It is believed that the presentation in this chapter will enhance the understanding of these methods for the real world applications.
