in this paper, homotopy perturbation method (hpm) has been applied to investigate the effect of magnetic field on cu-water nanofluid flow in non-parallel walls. the validity of hpm solutions were verified by comparing with numerical results obtained using a fourth order runge–kutta method. effects of active parameters on flow have been presented graphically. the results show that velocity in bo...

In this paper, the flow, thermal and concentration analyses of blood as a third grade with gold as nanoparticles through a porous channel are carried out using regular perturbation method. The analysis are carried out using Vogel’s model of temperature-dependent viscosity. The developed models were used to investigate the effects of the nano particles on the concentration, temperature and veloc...

In this paper, we consider the variational homotopy perturbation method (VHPM) to obtain an approximate series solution for the generalized Fisher’s equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. Comparisons are made among the variational iteration method (VIM), the exact solutions and the proposed method. The results reveal that the proposed method is very effectiv...

In this paper, we apply the Laplace decomposition method to obtain a series solutions of the Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher equations. The technique is based on the application of Laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. The method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory and the nonlinear terms can be easily handled by using the...

An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...

In recent years, numerous approaches have been applied for finding the solutions of functional equations. One of them is the optimal homotopy asymptotic method. In current paper, this method has been applied for obtaining the approximate solution of Fisher equation. The reliability of the method will be shown by solving some examples of various kinds and comparing the obtained outcomes with the ...

In this paper, He’s variational iteration method (VIM) is used to obtain approximate analytical solutions of the Abelian differential equation. This method is based on Lagrange multipliers for identification of optimal values of parameters in a functional. Using this method creates a sequence which tends to the exact solution of problem. The method is capable of reducing the size of calculation...

In this article, the magneto-thermo-elastic problem of exponentially graded material (EGM) hollow rotating disk placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields is considered. Exact solutions for stresses and perturbations of the magnetic field vector in EGM hollow rotating disk are determined using the infinitesimal theory of magneto-thermo-elasticity under plane stress. The material properti...

It is shown that the renormalization group method does not necessarily eliminate all secular terms in perturbation series to partial differential equations and a functional subspace of renormalizable secular solutions corresponds to a choice of scales of independent variables in the reductive perturbation method. Recently a novel method based on the perturbative renormalization group theory has...
