In this paper heat transfer in an electrically conducting fluid bonded by two parallel plates is studied in the presence of viscous dissipation. The plates and the fluid rotate with constant angular velocity about a same axis of rotation where the lower plate is a stretching sheet and the upper plate is a porous plate subject to constant injection. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to a system of ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformation. Homotopy analysis method is used to get complete analytic solution for velocity and temperature profiles. The effects of different parameters are discussed through graphs.

This paper discusses the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a porous channel. Both suction and injection (blowing) cases are considered. Appropriate similarity transformations are invoked to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary ones. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the presentation of analytic solution of the nonlinear differential system. Graphical results provide the salient features of the embedded flow parameters which include the Reynolds number, the Deborah numbers, and the Hartman number. Comparison between the existing numerical solution in a Maxwell fluid and present deduced series solution in a limiting sense is excellent.

AbstractThe flow of a micropolar fluid in a porous channel with expanding or contracting walls is investigated. The governing equations are reduced to ordinary ones by using similar transformations. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to obtain the expressions for the velocity fields and microrotation fields. Graphs are sketched for the effects of some values of parameters, especially the expansion ratio, on the velocity and microrotation fields and associated dynamic characteristics are analyzed in detail.

We apply the homotopy analysis method (HAM) for solving the multipantograph equation. The analytical results have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy analysis method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the homotopy analysis method.
