In this paper, we model a steady thin film flow of an Oldroyd 8-constant fluid on a vertically moving belt. The governing nonlinear differential equation is first integrated exactly and then solved by applying the variational iteration method and the Adomian decomposition method. The numerical results obtained by these methods are then compared through graphs and tables and no visible difference is observed. This study highlights the significant features of the proposed methods and their ability for solving nonlinear problems arising in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. Moreover, a reasonable estimation for the belt speed to lift the non-Newtonian fluid is also recorded. This estimation can be used for experimental verification.

We have investigated a thin film flow of a third grade fluid on a moving belt using a powerful and relatively new approximate analytical technique known as optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). The variation of velocity profile for different parameters is compared with the numerical values obtained byRunge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth-fifth ordermethod and with Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). An interesting result of the analysis is that the three terms OHAM solution is more accurate than five terms of the ADM solution and this thus confirms the feasibility of the proposed method.

In this study, the pseudo plastic model is used to obtain the solution for the steady thin film flow on the outer surface of long vertical cylinder for lifting and drainage problems. The non-linear governing equations subject to appropriate boundary conditions are solved analytically for velocity profiles by a modified homotopy perturbation method called the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic method. Expressions for the velocity profile, volume flux, average velocity, shear stress on the cylinder, normal stress differences, force to hold the vertical cylindrical surface in position, have been derived for both the problems. For the non-Newtonian parameter ?=0, we retrieve Newtonian cases for both the problems. We also plotted and discussed the affect of the Stokes number St, the non-Newtonian parameter ? and the thickness ? of the fluid film on the fluid velocities.

Abstract The present paper related to thin film flows of two immiscible third grade fluids past a vertical moving belt with slip conditions in the presence of uniform magnetic field. Immiscible fluids we mean superposed fluids of different densities and viscosities. The basic governing equations of continuity, momentum and energy are incorporated. The modeled coupled equations are solved analytically by using Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) along with Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The residual errors show the authentication of the present work. For comparison, numerical method (ND-Solve) is also applied and good agreement is found. The effects of model parameters on velocity, skin friction and temperature variation have been studied. At the end, the present study is also compared with single layer flow and revealed in close agreement with the result available in the literature.
