An efficient Spectral Collocation method based on the shifted Legendre polynomials was applied to get solution of heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium with radiation. A similarity transformation is applied to convert the governing equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Then, the shifted Legendre polynomials and their operational matrix of derivative are used for producing an approximate solution for this system of non-linear differential equations. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the need for guessing and correcting the initial values during the solution procedure is eliminated and a stable solution with good accuracy can be obtained by using the given boundary conditions in the problem. A very good agreement is observed between the obtained results by the proposed Spectral Collocation method and those of previously published ones.

AbstractA non-linear analysis has been made to study the unsteady hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. The effects of thermal radiation in the boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet have also been investigated. The system of governing partial differential equations in the boundary layer have reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformation. The resulting non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical results concern with the axial velocity, micro-rotation component and temperature profiles as well as local skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the sheet. The study reveals that the unsteady parameter S has an increasing effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

Our main purpose in this paper is to propose the piecewise Legendre spectral-collocation method to solve Volterra integro-differential equations. We provide convergence analysis to show that the numerical errors in our method decay in$h^{m}N^{-m}$-version rate. These results are better than the piecewise polynomial collocation method and the global Legendre spectral-collocation method. The provided numerical examples confirm these theoretical results.

The numerical techniques are regarded as the backbone of modern research. In literature, the exact solution of time delay differential models are hardly achievable or impossible. Therefore, numerical techniques are the only way to find their solution. In this article, a novel numerical technique known as Legendre spectral collocation method is used for the approximate solution of time delay differential system. Legendre spectral collocation method and their properties are applied to determined the general procedure for solving time delay differential system with detail error and convergence analysis. The method first convert the proposed system to a system of ordinary differential equations and then apply the Legendre polynomials to solve the resultant system efficiently. Finally, some numerical test problems are given to confirm the efficiency of the method and were compared with other available numerical schemes in the literature.
