In this paper, the homotopy renormalization (HTR) method is applied to investigate a free-convective boundary-layer problem arising from the sheet (or fiber) manufacturing, which is modeled by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By taking the inhomogeneous variable coefficient homotopy equations, the explicit asymptotic solutions satisfying the boundary conditions are given. Moreover, the comparisons with the numerical results show that our explicit function solutions have good performances in both local and large scales.

This paper presents the classical approximation scheme to investigate the velocity profile associated with the Falkner–Skan boundary-layer problem. Solution of the boundary-layer equation is obtained for a model problem in which the flow field contains a substantial region of strongly reversed flow. The problem investigates the flow of a viscous liquid past a semi-infinite flat plate against an adverse pressure gradient. Optimized results for the dimensionless velocity profiles of reverse wedge flow are presented graphically for different values of wedge angle parameter β taken from 0≤β≤2.5. Weighted residual method (WRM) is used for determining the solution of nonlinear boundary-layer problem. Finally, for β=0 the results of WRM are compared with the results of homotopy perturbation method.
