Abstract This survey applies the fractional asymptotic expansion to analyze some differential equations with boundary value problem. The method leads to the approximate solution in a wide range of applications, and avoids the limitations of algorithms based on Taylor expansion and the perturbation technique. The new method gives approximation series efficiently and overcomes the problems revealed by other analytical schemes that were proposed in the literature.

Free And Forced Convection

The formulation and solution of a boundary value problem is presented, describing the influence of the free convective diffusion on the forced one to a sphere for a wide range of Rayleigh, Ra, and Peclet, Pe, numbers. It is assumed that both the free and forced convection are oriented in the same sense. Numerical results obtained by the method of finite differences were approximated by an empirical formula based on an analytically derived asymptotic expansion for Pe → ∞. The concentration gradient at the surface and the total diffusion current calculated from the empirical formula agree with those obtained from the numerical solution within the limits of the estimated errors.

Asymptotic Expansion Method

The Reissner’s plate bending theory with consideration of transverse shear deformation effects is adopted to study the fundamental fracture problem in functionally graded materials (FGMs) plates for a crack perpendicular to material gradient. The crack-tip higher order asymptotic fields of FGMs plates are obtained by the asymptotic expansion method. This study has fundamental significance as Williams’ solution.
