The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates due to the normal motion of the plates is investigated. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are reduced to a nonlinear fourth-order differential equation by using similarity solutions. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to solve this nonlinear equation analytically. The convergence of the obtained series solution is carefully analyzed. The validity of our solutions is verified by the numerical results obtained by fourth-order Runge-Kutta.

This investigation describes the effects of heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) axisymmetric flow of a viscous fluid between two radially stretching sheets. Navier-Stokes equations are transformed into the ordinary differential equations by utilizing similarity variables. Solution computations are presented by using the homotopy analysis method. The convergence of obtained solutions is checked. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are given in tabular form. The dimensionless velocities and temperature are also analyzed for the pertinent parameters entering into the problem.

In this article, stagnation flow in the vicinity of a shrinking sheet is studied. A similarity transformation is employed to reduce the Navier—Stokes equations to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are then solved analytically by means of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results obtained were shown to compare well with the numerical results available in the literature for the same problem. Close agreement between the two sets of results indicates the accuracy of the HAM. The method can predict the flow field in all vertical distances from the sheet, and is also able to control the convergence of the solution. The numerical solution of the similarity equations is also developed and the results are in good agreement with the analytical results based on the HAM.

Navier Stokes Equations

A viscous fluid lies between two parallel plates which are being squeezed or separated. If the normal velocity is proportional to (1 − αt)−1/2 the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations admit similarity solutions. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equation is governed by a parameter S which characterizes unsteadiness. Asymptotic solutions for small S and for large positive S are found which compare well with those obtained by numerical integration. It is found that the resistance is proportional to (1 − αt)−2 but is not necessarily opposite to the direction of motion.

Velocity inversion is an interesting phenomenon of nanoscale which means that the velocity near the wall is greater than that of center. To solve this problem, fluid flow in nanochannel attracts more attention in recent years. The physical model of gas flow in two-dimensional nanochannel was established here. To describe the process with conventional control equations, Navier–Stokes equations combined with high-order accurate slip boundary conditions was used as mathematical model. With the introduction of new dimensionless variables, the problem was reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Then it was analytically solved and investigated using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results were verified by comparing with other available experiment data. Result shows that the proposed method could predict velocity phenomenon.

The presented work includes the Homotopy Transforms of Analysis Method (HTAM). By this method, the approximate solution of nonlinear Navier- Stokes equations of fractional order derivative was obtained.  The Caputo's derivative was used in the proposed method. The desired solution was calculated by using the convergent power series to the components. The obtained results are demonstrated by comparison with the results of Adomain decomposition method, Homotopy Analysis method and exact solution, as explained in examples (4.1) and (4.2). The comparison shows that the used method is powerful and efficient.

AbstractIn this article, the lubrication of a long porous slider in which the fluid is injected into the porous bottom is considered. The similarity transformations reduce the governing problem of Navier-Stokes equations to coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved by HAM. Solutions are obtained for much larger values of Reynolds number compared to analytical and numerical methods. The results comprise good agreement between approximate and numerical solutions. HAM gives rapid convergent series solutions which show that this method is efficient, accurate and has advantages over other methods. Further, homotopy-pade’ technique is used to accelerate the convergence of series solution.

Pressure Driven Flow

In this chapter it is shown that solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations can be derived for steady, fully developed flow of a constant-viscosity Newtonian fluid through a cylindrical duct. Such a flow is known as a Poiseuille flow. For a pipe of circular cross section, the term Hagen-Poiseuille flow is used. Solutions are also derived for shear-driven flow within the annular space between two concentric cylinders or in the space between two parallel plates when there is relative tangential movement between the wetted surfaces, termed Couette flows. The concepts of wetted perimeter and hydraulic diameter are introduced. It is shown how the viscometer equations result from the concentric-cylinder solutions. The pressure-driven flow of generalised Newtonian fluids is also discussed.
