In this research paper, the Homotopy Analysis Method is used to investigate the twodimensional electrical conduction of a magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffrey Fluid across a stretching sheet under various conditions, such as when electrical current and temperature are both present, and when heat is added in the presence of a chemical reaction or thermal radiation. Applying similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equation is transformed into terms of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. The Homotopy Analysis Method is used to solve a system of ordinary differential equations. The impact of different numerical values on velocity, concentration, and temperature is examined and presented in tables and graphs. The fluid velocity reduces as the retardation time parameter(2) grows, while the fluid velocity inside the boundary layer increases as the Deborah number () increases. The velocity profiles decrease when the magnetic parameter M is increased. The results of this study are entirely compatible with those of a viscous fluid. The Homotopy Analysis Method calculations have been carried out on the PARAM Shavak high-performance computing (HPC) machine using the BVPh2.0 Mathematica tool.

Introduction: In this article Optimal Homotopy analysis method (oHAM) is used for exploration of the features of Cattaneo-Christov model in viscous and chemically reactive nanofluid flow through a porous medium with stretching velocity at the solid/sheet surface and free stream velocity at the free surface. Methods: The two important aspects, Brownian motion and Thermophoresis are considered. Thermal radiation is also included in present model. Based on the heat and mass flux, the Cattaneo-Christov model is implemented on the Temperature and Concentration distributions. The governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are converted into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations. The results are achieved using the optimal homotopy analysis method (oHAM). The optimal convergence and residual errors have been calculated to preserve the validity of the model. Results: The results are plotted graphically to see the variations in three main profiles i.e. momentum, temperature and concentration profile. Conclusion: The outcomes indicate that skin friction enhances due to implementation of Darcy medium. It is also noted that the relaxation time parameter results in enhancement of the temperature distribution. Thermal radiation enhances the temperature distribution and so is the case with skin friction.

The spectral homotopy analysis method is extended to solutions of systems of nonlinear partial differential equations. The SHAM has previously been successfully used to find solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We solve the nonlinear system of partial differential equations that model the unsteady nonlinear convective flow caused by an impulsively stretching sheet. The numerical results generated using the spectral homotopy analysis method were compared with those found using the spectral quasilinearisation method (SQLM) and the two results were in good agreement.

This article deals with the analytical study of MHD flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching sheet via homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effect of thermal radiation is included in the energy equation, while velocity and thermal slips are included in the boundary conditions. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. The effects of different parameters on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics are examined. The results obtained were shown to compare well with the numerical results and for some special cases with the published data available in the literature, which are in favorable agreement. Keywords: MHD; Slip flow; Stretching sheet; Thermal radiation; Homotopy analysis method

AbstractThe similarity solution for the steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible viscous and electrically conducting fluid over a non-linearly semi-infinite stretching sheet in the presence of a chemical reaction and under the influence of a magnetic field gives a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. These non-linear differential equations are analytically solved by applying a newly developed method, namely the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The analytic solutions of the system of non-linear differential equations are constructed in the series form. The convergence of the obtained series solutions is carefully analyzed. Graphical results are presented to investigate the influence of the Schmidt number, magnetic parameter and chemical reaction parameter on the velocity and concentration fields. It is noted that the behavior of the HAM solution for concentration profiles is in good agreement with the numerical solution given in reference [A. Raptis, C. Perdikis, Int. J. Nonlinear Mech. 41, 527 (2006)].

Heat transfer analysis in nanofluids is an active research field due to its extraordinary physical and chemical properties. In the current study, the focus lies on the effects of Stefan blowing when a non-Newtonian Casson base fluid flows over a surface which stretches linearly. A uniform transverse magnetic field is employed. The chemical reaction in the fluid with activation energy and radiation effects have also been engaging the attention. Fundamental laws of conservation are employed to model governing equations of flow. Similarity transform is introduced to reduce the said system of partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are in turn tackled analytically using Homotopy Analysis Method with genetic algorithms to optimise the series solution. The impact of pertaining parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration were presented explicitly. This study relevant to remedies for malign tissues, cells or clogged arteries of the heart.

The purpose of this study is to identify the auxiliary linear operator that gives the best convergence and accuracy in the implementation of the spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) in the solution of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The auxiliary linear operator is an essential element of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) algorithm that strongly influences the convergence of the method. In this work we introduce new procedures of defining the auxiliary linear operators and compare solutions generated using the new linear operators with solutions obtained using well-known linear operators. The applicability and validity of the proposed linear operators is tested on four highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations with fluid mechanics applications that have recently been reported in the literature. The results from the study reveal that the new linear operators give better results than the previously used linear operators. The identification of the optimal linear operator will direct future research on further applications of HAM-based methods in solving complicated nonlinear differential equations.

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.
