AbstractIn this study, the behavior of a microchannel flow is examined. The fluid is considered to be a nanofluid, which moves between two parallel flat plates in the presence of an electrical double layer. The Buongiorno nanofluid is considered with body force. In this study, the unphysical supposition presented in the preceding work to the discontinuity of the flow fled where the electrostatic potential in the central of the canal must be equal to zero is removed. The incorrect supposition that the pressure constant is preserved, which is considered a known form, is corrected. The current fresh model equation is modified by using dimensionless parameters to convert partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The transformed nonlinear equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method. The physical parameters, magnetic parameters, Eckert number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameters, thermophoresis parameters, and Prandtl number are analyzed. The influence of both the viscous and Joule dissipation in the presence of magnetohydrodynamic effect is examined.

AbstractThe present work investigates the unsteady, imcompressible flow of a micropolar fluid between two orthogonally moving porous coaxial disks. The lower and upper disks are rotating with the same angular speed in counter directions. The flows are driven by the contraction and the rotation of the disks. An extension of the Von Kármán type similarity transformation is proposed and is applied to reduce the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) to a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in dimensionless form. These differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions are responsible for the flow behavior between large but finite coaxial rotating disks. The analytical solutions are obtained by employing the homotopy analysis method. The effects of some various physical parameters like the expansion ratio, the rotational Reynolds number, the permeability Reynolds number, and micropolar parameters on the velocity fields are observed in graphs and discussed in detail.

In this paper we study the flow of an incompressible Erying-Powell fluid bounded by a linear stretching surface. The mass transfer analysis in the presence of destructive /generative chemical reactions is also analyzed. A similarity transformation is used to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Computations for dimensionless velocity and concentration fields are performed by an efficient approach namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and numerical solution is obtained by shooting technique along with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme. Graphical results are prepared to illustrate the details of flow and mass transfer characteristics and their dependence upon the physical parameters. The values for gradient of mass transfer are also evaluated and analyzed. A comparison of the present solutions with published results in the literature is performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement.

AbstractIn this study, the generalised velocity slip and the generalised temperature jump of nanofluid in the flow over a stretching sheet with variable thickness are investigated. Because of the non-adherence of the fluid to a solid boundary, the velocity slip and the temperature jump between fluid and moving sheet may happen in industrial process, so taking velocity slip and temperature jump into account is indispensable. It is worth mentioning that the analysis of the velocity v, which has not been seen in the previous references related to the variable thickness sheet, is presented. The thermophoresis and the Brownian motion, which are the two very important physical parameters, are fully studied. The governing equations are simplified into ordinary differential equations by the proper transformations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied to solve the reduced equations for general conditions. In addition, the effects of involved parameters such as velocity slip parameter, temperature jump parameter, Prandtl number, magnetic field parameter, permeable parameter, Lewis number, thermophoresis parameter, and Brownian motion parameter are investigated and analysed graphically.

Entropy generation in bioconvection two-dimensional steady incompressible non-Newtonian Oldroyd-B nanofluid with Cattaneo–Christov heat and mass flux theory is investigated. The Darcy–Forchheimer law is used to study heat and mass transfer flow and microorganisms motion in porous media. Using appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations which are then solved by homotopy analysis method. For an insight into the problem, the effects of various parameters on different profiles are shown in different graphs.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the incompressible MHD stagnation-point flows of a Non-Newtonian Fluid over stretching sheets.The governing system of partial differential equations is first transformed into a system of dimensionless ordinary differential equations. By using the homotopy analysis method, a convergent series solution is obtained. The reliability and efficiency of series solutions are illustrated by good agreement with numerical results in the literature.Besides, the effects of the power-law indexthe magnetic field parameter and velocity ratio parameter on the flow are investigated.

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method is applied to solve linear fractional problems. Based on this method, a scheme is developed to obtain approximation solution of fractional wave, Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), KdV-Burgers, and Klein-Gordon equations with initial conditions, which are introduced by replacing some integer-order time derivatives by fractional derivatives. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. So the homotopy analysis method for partial differential equations of integer order is directly extended to derive explicit and numerical solutions of the fractional partial differential equations. The solutions are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily computable components. The results of applying this procedure to the studied cases show the high accuracy and efficiency of the new technique.
