This paper shows the analysis of the thin film flow of fourth-grade fluid on the outer side of a vertical cylinder. Solution of the governing nonlinear equation is obtained by Rational Homotopy Perturbation Method (RHPM); comparison with exact solution reflects the reliability of the method. Analysis shows that this method is reliable for even high nonlinearity. Graphs and tables strengthen the idea.

This work investigates the mathematical model and solution for an unsteady MHD fourth grade fluid flow over a vertical plate in a porous medium with the effects of the magnetic field and suction/injection parameters using Homotopy Perturbation Method. The flow is considered to satisfy the constitutive equations of fourth grade fluid flow model and because of the Homotopy Perturbation Method used, only the momentum equation with initial and boundary conditions are solved as governing equations. After initializing stability test, the convergence of the governing equations are observed graphically using the results of Homotopy Perturbation Method with the new analytical method used by Yurusoy in literature and there is a perfect agreement in results. The impact of dimensionless second, third and fourth grade parameters with the effects of magnetic field and suction/injection parameters on the velocity field are displayed graphically and discussed. Increase in suction parameter decreases the momentum boundary layer thickness while injection parameter enhances velocity distribution in the boundary layer. Magnetic field reduces velocity throughout the boundary layer because the Lorentz force which acts as retarding force reduces the boundary layer thickness.

AbstractA new approximate analytical technique to address for non-linear problems, namely Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is proposed and has been applied to thin film flow of a fourth grade fluid down a vertical cylinder. This approach however, does not depend upon any small/large parameters in comparison to other perturbation method. This method provides a convenient way to control the convergence of approximation series and allows adjustment of convergence regions where necessary. The series solution has been developed and the recurrence relations are given explicitly. The results reveal that the proposed method is very accurate, effective and easy to use.
