In the present work, the classical laminar boundary layer equation of the flow away from the origin past a wedge with the no-slip boundary condition replaced by a nonlinear Navier boundary condition is considered. This boundary condition contains an arbitrary index parameter, denoted by n > 0, which appears in the differential equation to be solved. Predictor homotopy analysis method (PHAM) is applied to this problem and more, it is proved corresponding to the value n = 1/3, there exist four solutions. Furthermore, these solutions are approximated by analytical series solution using PHAM for further physical interpretations.

We analyse the effect of applied magnetic field on the flow of compressible fluid with an adverse pressure gradient. The governing partial differential equations are solved analytically by Homotopy analysis method (HAM) and numerically by finite difference method. A detailed analysis is carried out for different values of the magnetic parameter, where suction/ injection is imposed at the wall. It is also observed that flow separation is seen in boundary layer region for large injection. HAM is a series solution which consists of a convergence parameter h which is estimated numerically by plotting <em>h</em> curve. Singularities of the solution are identified by Pade approximation.

In this paper we discuss with magneto hydrodynamic viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet in the presence of suction. We also discuss two dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking for various cases. Using similarity transformation the governing boundary layer equations are converted into its dimensionless form. The transformed simultaneous ordinary differential equations are solved analytically by using Homotopy analysis method. The approximate analytical expression of the dimensionless velocity, dimensionless temperature and dimensionless concentration are derived using the Homotopy analysis method through the guessing solutions. Our analytical results are compared with the previous work and a good agreement is observed.

This paper investigates a new approach called Homotopy Analysis Decomposition Method (HADM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, the method was developed by incorporating Adomian polynomial into Homotopy Analysis Method. The Adomian polynomial was used to decompose the nonlinear term in the equation then apply the scheme of homotopy analysis method. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method was validated by considering algebraically decaying viscous boundary layer  flow due to a moving sheet. Diagonal Pade approximation was used to get the skin friction. The obtained results were presented along with other methods in the literature in tabular form to show the computational efficiency of the new approach. The results were found to agree with those in literature. Owing to its small size of computation, the method is not aected by discretization error as the results are presented in form of polynomials.

In contrast to the well-known columnar convection mode in rapidly rotating spherical fluid systems, the viscous dissipation of the preferred convection mode at sufficiently small Prandtl numberPrtakes place only in the Ekman boundary layer. It follows that different types of velocity boundary condition lead to totally different forms of the asymptotic relationship between the Rayleigh numberRand the Ekman numberEfor the onset of convection. We extend both perturbation and numerical analyses with the stress-free boundary condition (Zhang 1994) in rapidly rotating spherical systems to those with the non-slip boundary condition. Complete analytical solutions – the critical parameters for the onset of convection and the corresponding flow and temperature structure – are obtained and a new asymptotic relation betweenRandEis derived. While an explicit solution of the Ekman boundary-layer problem can be avoided by constructing a proper surface integral in the case of the stress-free boundary problem, an explicit solution of the spherical Ekman boundary layer is required and then obtained to derive the solvability condition for the present problem. In the corresponding numerical analysis, velocity and temperature are expanded in terms of spherical harmonics and Chebychev functions. Accurate numerical solutions are obtained in the asymptotic regime of smallEandPr, and comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions is then made to demonstrate that a satisfactory quantitative agreement between the analytical and numerical analyses is reached.

Wall modelling in large-eddy simulation (LES) is necessary to overcome the prohibitive near-wall resolution requirements in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows. Most existing wall models rely on assumptions about the state of the boundary layer and require a priori prescription of tunable coefficients. They also impose the predicted wall stress by replacing the no-slip boundary condition at the wall with a Neumann boundary condition in the wall-parallel directions while maintaining the no-transpiration condition in the wall-normal direction. In the present study, we first motivate and analyse the Robin (slip) boundary condition with transpiration (non-zero wall-normal velocity) in the context of wall-modelled LES. The effect of the slip boundary condition on the one-point statistics of the flow is investigated in LES of turbulent channel flow and a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer. It is shown that the slip condition provides a framework to compensate for the deficit or excess of mean momentum at the wall. Moreover, the resulting non-zero stress at the wall alleviates the well-known problem of the wall-stress under-estimation by current subgrid-scale (SGS) models (Jiménez & Moser, AIAA J., vol. 38 (4), 2000, pp. 605–612). Second, we discuss the requirements for the slip condition to be used in conjunction with wall models and derive the equation that connects the slip boundary condition with the stress at the wall. Finally, a dynamic procedure for the slip coefficients is formulated, providing a dynamic slip wall model free of a priori specified coefficients. The performance of the proposed dynamic wall model is tested in a series of LES of turbulent channel flow at varying Reynolds numbers, non-equilibrium three-dimensional transient channel flow and a zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate turbulent boundary layer. The results show that the dynamic wall model is able to accurately predict one-point turbulence statistics for various flow configurations, Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions.

In this study, a steady, incompressible, and laminar-free convective flow of a two-dimensional electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a moving stretching surface through a porous medium is considered. The boundary-layer equations are derived by considering Boussinesq and boundary-layer approximations. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the momentum and energy equations are obtained and solved analytically by using homotopy analysis method (HAM) with two auxiliary parameters for two classes of visco-elastic fluid (Walters’ liquid B and second-grade fluid). It is clear that by the use of second auxiliary parameter, the straight line region inℏ-curve increases and the convergence accelerates. This research is performed by considering two different boundary conditions: (a) prescribed surface temperature (PST) and (b) prescribed heat flux (PHF). The effect of involved parameters on velocity and temperature is investigated.
