In this study, a steady, incompressible, and laminar-free convective flow of a two-dimensional electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a moving stretching surface through a porous medium is considered. The boundary-layer equations are derived by considering Boussinesq and boundary-layer approximations. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the momentum and energy equations are obtained and solved analytically by using homotopy analysis method (HAM) with two auxiliary parameters for two classes of visco-elastic fluid (Walters’ liquid B and second-grade fluid). It is clear that by the use of second auxiliary parameter, the straight line region inℏ-curve increases and the convergence accelerates. This research is performed by considering two different boundary conditions: (a) prescribed surface temperature (PST) and (b) prescribed heat flux (PHF). The effect of involved parameters on velocity and temperature is investigated.

In this paper we discuss with magneto hydrodynamic viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet in the presence of suction. We also discuss two dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking for various cases. Using similarity transformation the governing boundary layer equations are converted into its dimensionless form. The transformed simultaneous ordinary differential equations are solved analytically by using Homotopy analysis method. The approximate analytical expression of the dimensionless velocity, dimensionless temperature and dimensionless concentration are derived using the Homotopy analysis method through the guessing solutions. Our analytical results are compared with the previous work and a good agreement is observed.

A powerful analytic technique for nonlinear problems, the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is employed to give analytic solutions of power-law fluids of second grade. For the so-called secondorder power-law fluids, the explicit analytic solutions are given by recursive formulas with constant coefficients. Also, for the real power-law index in a quite large range an analytic approach is proposed. It is demonstrated that the approximate solution agrees well with the finite difference solution. This provides further evidence that the homotopy analysis method is a powerful tool for finding excellent approximations to nonlinear equations of the power-law fluids of second grade.

AbstractIn this paper, homotopy analysis method (HAM) and variational iteration method (VIM) are utilized to derive the approximate solutions of the Tricomi equation. Afterwards, the HAM is optimized to accelerate the convergence of the series solution by minimizing its square residual error at any order of the approximation. It is found that effect of the optimal values of auxiliary parameter on the convergence of the series solution is not negligible. Furthermore, the present results are found to agree well with those obtained through a closed-form equation available in the literature. To conclude, it is seen that the two are effective to achieve the solution of the partial differential equations.

We analyse the effect of applied magnetic field on the flow of compressible fluid with an adverse pressure gradient. The governing partial differential equations are solved analytically by Homotopy analysis method (HAM) and numerically by finite difference method. A detailed analysis is carried out for different values of the magnetic parameter, where suction/ injection is imposed at the wall. It is also observed that flow separation is seen in boundary layer region for large injection. HAM is a series solution which consists of a convergence parameter h which is estimated numerically by plotting <em>h</em> curve. Singularities of the solution are identified by Pade approximation.

A modifiedq-homotopy analysis method (mq-HAM) was proposed for solvingnth-order nonlinear differential equations. This method improves the convergence of the series solution in thenHAM which was proposed in (see Hassan and El-Tawil 2011, 2012). The proposed method provides an approximate solution by rewriting thenth-order nonlinear differential equation in the form ofnfirst-order differential equations. The solution of thesendifferential equations is obtained as a power series solution. This scheme is tested on two nonlinear exactly solvable differential equations. The results demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the algorithm developed.
