An incompressible second grade fluid impinges on the wall either orthogonally or obliquely. The resulting nonlinear problems have been solved by a homotopy analysis method （HAM）. Convergence of the series solutions is checked. Such solutions are compared with the numerical solutions presented in a study lint. J. Non-Linear Mech. 43 （2008） 941].

Using both methods it obtains the similarity reduction solutions and similarity reduction equations of different orders, showing that the approximate homotopy direct method yields more general approximate similarity reductions than the approximate homotopy symmetry method. The homotopy series solutions to the generalized Kawahara equation are consequently derived.展开更多

Under this method we get the similarity reduction solutions of the Kawahara equation, leading to the corresponding homotopy series solutions.

Both strong and weak concentrations of microelements are taken into account. Suitable transformations are employed for the conversion of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Solutions to the resulting problems are developed with a homotopy analysis method （HAM）. The angular velocity, skin friction coefficient, and wall couple stress coefficient are illustrated for various parameters.展开更多
文摘This article reports the homotopy solution for stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian fluid. An incompressible second grade fluid impinges on the wall either orthogonally or obliquely.

Such solutions are compared with the numerical solutions presented in a study lint. J. Non-Linear Mech. 43 （2008） 941]. Excellent agreement is noted between the numerical and series solutions.
