ABSTRACTIn this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to solve the velocity and temperature fields in the thermal boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. Both the flow and heat transfer solutions are calculated accurately by the Laplace Adomian decomposition method, Padé approximant and the optimal design concept. The Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is a combination of the numerical Laplace transform algorithm with the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). A hybrid method of the LADM combined with the Padé approximant, named the LADM-Padé approximant technique, is introduced to solve the thermal boundary layer problems directly without any small parameter assumptions, linearizatons or transformations of the boundary value problems to a pair of initial value problems. The LADM-Padé approximant solutions here in are given to show the accuracy in comparison with different method solutions.

In this paper, the Emden–Fowler equations are investigated by employing the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the Padé approximant. By using the new type of Adomian polynomials proposed by Randolph C. Rach in 2008, our obtained solution series converges much faster than the regular ADM solution of the same order. Meanwhile, we note that the solutions obtained by using the new ADM–Padé technique have much higher accuracy and larger convergence domain than those obtained by using the regular ADM together with the Padé technique. Finally, comparison of our new obtained solutions are given with those existing exact ones graphically to illustrate the validity and the promising potential of the new ADM–Padé technique for solving nonlinear problems.

The local similarity solution procedure was successfully adopted to investigate non-Darcian flow and heat transfer through a boundary layer developed over a horizontal flat plate in a highly porous medium. The full boundary layer equations, which consider the effects of convective inertia, solid boundary, and porous inertia in addition to the Darcy flow resistance, were solved using novel transformed variables deduced from a scale analysis. The results from this local similarity solution are found to be in good agreement with those obtained from a finite difference method. The effects of the convective inertia term, boundary viscous term, and porous inertia term on the velocity and temperature fields were examined in detail. Furthermore, useful asymptotic expressions for the local Nusselt number were derived in consideration of possible physical limiting conditions.

Numerical solutions are described for the unsteady thermal boundary layer in incompressible laminar flow over a semi-infinite flat plate set impulsively into motion, with the simultaneous imposition of a constant temperature difference between the plate and the fluid. Results are presented for several Prandtl numbers.

In this paper, the implementation of the Adomian decomposition method is demonstrated to solve a nonlinear heat transfer problem for a stepped fin involving all temperature-dependent means of heat transfer and nonlinear boundary conditions. Unlike conventional insulated tip assumption, to make the present problem more practical, the fin tip is assumed to disperse heat by convection and radiation. Thermal parameters such as the thermal conductivity, the surface heat transfer coefficient and the surface emissivity are considered to be temperature-dependent. Adomian polynomials are first obtained and then a set of Adomian decomposition method results is validated with pertinent results of the differential transformation method reported in the literature. Effects of different thermo-physical parameters on the temperature distribution and the efficiency have been exemplified. The study reveals that for a given set of conditions, the stepped fin may perform better than the straight fin.

This paper is concerned with a thorough investigation in achieving exact analytical solution for the Van der Pol (VDP) nonlinear oscillators models via Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The models are nonlinear time dependent second order ordinary differential equations. ADM has already been applied, in existing literatures, to obtain approximate results. But, we adapt the method by adjusting the source term; a procedure that is base on the asymptotic Taylor's series expansion on the term that would have resulted to proliferation of terms during the invertible process. Then, the rational Pade Approximant is applied to clarify and get a better understanding of the uniqueness and convergence of our findings. Two models were used as illustrations and their result pictured to indicate their behaviour in the given domains. And, we found that the adaptation on the models yielded exact results which were further displayed in constructed tables.
