Paper the Jeffery-Hamel flow-a nonlinear equation of 3rd order-is studied by homotopy perturbation method. After introducing homotopy perturbation method and the way of obtaining Adomian’s polynomial, we solved the problem for divergent and convergent channel. Finally, velocity distribution and shear stress constant is depicted at various Reynolds numbers and comparing our results with some ear...

In this paper, the temporal development of small disturbances in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffery–Hamel flows is investigated, in order to understand the stability of hydromagnetic steady flows in convergent/divergent channels at very small magnetic Reynolds number Rm . A modified form of normal modes that satisfy the linearized governing equations for small disturbance development asymptotica...

This paper presents the Jeffery Hamel flow of a non-Newtonian fluid namely Casson fluid. Suitable similarity transform is applied to reduce governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a much simpler ordinary differential equation. Variation of Parameters Method (VPM) is then employed to solve resulting equation. Same problem is solved numerical by using Runge-Kutta order 4 method. A c...

The combined effects of nanoparticle and magnetic field on the nonlinear Jeffery-Hamel flow are analyzed in the present study. The basic governing equations are solved analytically to nonlinear ordinary differential equation using perturbation method together with a semi-numerical analytical technique called Hermite- Padé approximation. The obtained results are well agreed with that of the Adom...
