Abstract This paper deals with the numerical solutions of converging and diverging flows, between two disks. The results are obtained by solving a nonlinear third order ordinary differential equation using a modified shooting method. The governing equation is written as a system of three nonlinear first order ODE’s and the resulting system is solved as an initial value problem via the Runge-Kutta method. The results are given in terms of velocity profiles and static pressure distributions. These are compared with previously reported experimental data obtained by others.

A fourth-order two stage Phase-fitted and Amplification-fitted Diagonally Implicit Two Derivative Runge-Kutta method (PFAFDITDRK) for the numerical integration of first-order Initial Value Problems (IVPs) which exhibits periodic solutions are constructed. The Phase-Fitted and Amplification-Fitted property are discussed thoroughly in this paper. The stability of the method proposed are also given herewith. Runge-Kutta (RK) methods of the similar property are chosen in the literature for the purpose of comparison by carrying out numerical experiments to justify the accuracy and the effectiveness of the derived method.

This paper presents the construction of the two-point and three-point block methods with additional derivatives for directly solving [Formula: see text]. The proposed block methods are formulated using Hermite Interpolating Polynomial and approximate the solution of the problem at two or three-point concurrently. The block methods obtain the numerical solutions directly without reducing the equation into the first order system of initial value problems (IVPs). The order and zero-stability of the proposed methods are also investigated. Numerical results are presented and comparisons with other existing block methods are made. The performance shows that the proposed methods are very efficient in solving the general third order IVPs.

Two numerical methods- I2BBDF2 and I22BBDF2 that compute two points simultaneously at every step of integration by first providing a starting value via fourth order Runge-Kutta method are derived using Taylor series expansion. The two-point block schemes are derived by modifying the existing I2BBDF (5) method of Mohamad et al., (2018). Convergence and stability analysis of the new methods are established with the methods being of order two and A-stable in both cases. Despite the very low order of the new methods, the accuracy of these methods on some stiff initial value problems in the literature proves their superiority over existing methods of higher orders such as I2BBDF(5), BBDF(5), E2OSB(4) among others.
