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.

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.

AbstractIn this article, the lubrication of a long porous slider in which the fluid is injected into the porous bottom is considered. The similarity transformations reduce the governing problem of Navier-Stokes equations to coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved by HAM. Solutions are obtained for much larger values of Reynolds number compared to analytical and numerical methods. The results comprise good agreement between approximate and numerical solutions. HAM gives rapid convergent series solutions which show that this method is efficient, accurate and has advantages over other methods. Further, homotopy-pade’ technique is used to accelerate the convergence of series solution.

In this paper, Homotopy analysis method is applied to the nonlinear coupleddifferential equations of classical Boussinesq system. We have applied Homotopy analysis method (HAM) for the application problems in [1, 2, 3, 4]. We have also plotted Domb-Sykes plot for the region of convergence. We have applied Pade for the HAM series to identify the singularity and reflect it in the graph. The HAM is a analytical technique which is used to solve non-linear problems to generate a convergent series. HAM gives complete freedom to choose the initial approximation of the solution, it is the auxiliary parameter h which gives us a convenient way to guarantee the convergence of homotopy series solution. It seems that moreartificial degrees of freedom implies larger possibility to gain better approximations by HAM.

AbstractIn the current work, the unsteady thermal flow of Maxwell power-law nanofluid with Welan gum solution on a stretching surface has been considered. The flow is also exposed to Joule heating and magnetic effects. The Marangoni convection equation is also proposed for current investigation in light of the constitutive equations for the Maxwell power law model. For non-dimensionalization, a group of similar variables has been employed to obtain a set of ordinary differential equations. This set of dimensionless equations is then solved with the help of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). It has been established in this work that, the effects of momentum relaxation time upon the thickness of the film is quite obvious in comparison to heat relaxation time. It is also noticed in this work that improvement in the Marangoni convection process leads to a decline in the thickness of the fluid’s film.

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.

A powerful analytic technique for nonlinear problems, the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is employed to give analytic solutions of power-law fluids of second grade. For the so-called secondorder power-law fluids, the explicit analytic solutions are given by recursive formulas with constant coefficients. Also, for the real power-law index in a quite large range an analytic approach is proposed. It is demonstrated that the approximate solution agrees well with the finite difference solution. This provides further evidence that the homotopy analysis method is a powerful tool for finding excellent approximations to nonlinear equations of the power-law fluids of second grade.

Homotopy Analysis

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.
