This paper studies heat transfer in a two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic viscous incompressible flow in convergent/divergent channels. The temperature profile was obtained numerically for both cases of convergent/divergent channels. It was found that the temperature profile increases with an increase in Reynold number, Prandtl number, Nusselt number and angle of the wall but decreases with an increase in Hartmann number. A relatively new numerical method called the spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) was used to solve the governing non-linear differential equations. The SHAM 3rd order results matched with the DTM and shooting, showing that SHAM is feasible as a technique to be used.

In this work, we demonstrate the efficiency of the newly developed spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) in solving non-linear heat transfer equations. We demonstrate the applicability of the method by solving the problem of steady conduction in a slab and the convective fin equation with variable thermal conductivity. New closed form explicit analytic solutions of the governing non-linear equations are obtained and compared with the SHAM results and numerical solutions. The results reveal that the new SHAM approach is very accurate and efficient and converges much faster than the standard homotopy analysis method.

AbstractThe aim of the present work is to propose a user friendly approach based on homotopy analysis method combined with Sumudu transform method to drive analytical and numerical solutions of the fractional Newell-Whitehead-Segel amplitude equation which describes the appearance of the stripe patterns in 2-dimensional systems. The coupling of homotopy analysis method with Sumudu transform algorithm makes the calculation very easy. The proposed technique gives an analytic solution in the form of series which converge very fastly. The analytical and numerical results reveal that the coupling of homotopy analysis technique with Sumudu transform algorithm is very easy to apply and highly accuratewhen apply to non-linear differential equation of fractional order.

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method is applied to solve linear fractional problems. Based on this method, a scheme is developed to obtain approximation solution of fractional wave, Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), KdV-Burgers, and Klein-Gordon equations with initial conditions, which are introduced by replacing some integer-order time derivatives by fractional derivatives. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. So the homotopy analysis method for partial differential equations of integer order is directly extended to derive explicit and numerical solutions of the fractional partial differential equations. The solutions are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily computable components. The results of applying this procedure to the studied cases show the high accuracy and efficiency of the new technique.

AbstractIn the present work, the problem of Hiemenz flow through a porous medium of a incompressible non-Newtonian Rivlin-Ericksen fluid with heat transfer is presented and newly developed analytic method, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This flow impinges normal to a plane wall with heat transfer. It has been attempted to show capabilities and wide-range applications of the homotopy analysis method in comparison with the numerical method in solving this problem. Also the convergence of the obtained HAM solution is discussed explicitly. Our reports consist of the effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the Non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat.

A modification of homotopy analysis method (HAM) known as spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) is proposed to solve linear Volterra integrodifferential equations. Some examples are given in order to test the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method. The SHAM results show that the proposed approach is quite reasonable when compared to SHAM results and exact solutions.

This investigation deals with the Falkner-Skan flow of a Maxwell fluid in the presence of nonuniform applied magnetic fi…eld with heat transfer. Governing problems of flow and heat transfer are solved analytically by employing the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Effects of the involved parameters, namely, the Deborah number, Hartman number, and the Prandtl number, are examined carefully. A comparative study is made with the known numerical solution in a limiting sense and an excellent agreement is noted.

Spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) as a modification of homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied to obtain solution of high-order nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential problems. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed method are proved. Some examples are given to approve the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method. The SHAM results show that the proposed approach is quite reasonable when compared to homotopy analysis method, Lagrange interpolation solutions, and exact solutions.
