A Perturbation Method for Studying Thermal Convection Problems

A Dynamically Adaptive Lattice Boltzmann Method for Thermal Convection Problems

Utilizing the Boussinesq approximation, a double-population incompressible thermal lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for forced and natural convection in two and three space dimensions is developed and validated. A block-structured dynamic adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) procedure tailored for the LBM is applied to enable computationally efficient simulations of moderate to high Rayleigh number flo...

A NOVEL HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD: KOUROSH´S METHOD FOR A THERMAL BOUNDARY LAYER IN A SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM

this paper a novel homotopy perturbation method has been presented for forced convection boundary layer problems in a porous medium. Noting the infinite condition, a homotopy form which is similar to the singular perturbation form has been considered. The inner and outer solutions have been achieved and the coincidence of the results has been investigated with a proper matching method. The resu...

Homotopy perturbation method for linear programming problems

In this paper, He’s homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is applied for solving linear programming (LP) problems. This paper shows that some recent findings about this topic cannot be applied for all cases. Furthermore, we provide the correct application of HPM for LP problems. The proposed method has a simple and graceful structure. Finally, a numerical example is displayed to illustrate the pro...
