The flow is caused by non-linear stretching of a sheet. Thermal conductivity of the fluid is assumed to vary linearly with temperature. The governing partial differential equations （PDEs） are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations （ODEs） with appropriate boundary conditions for various physical parameters. The remaining system of ODEs is solved numerically using a differential transformation method （DTM）. The effects of the porous parameter, the wall thickness parameter, the radiation parameter, the thermal conductivity parameter, and the Prandtl number on the flow and temperature profiles are presented. Moreover, the local skin-friction and the Nusselt numbers are presented. Comparison of the obtained numerical results is made with previously published results in some special cases, with good agreement. The results obtained in this paper confirm the idea that DTM is a powerful mathematical tool and can be applied to a large class of linear and non-linear problems in different fields of science and engineering.展开更多

The blood is considered as the third- grade non-Newtonian fluid under the periodic body acceleration motion and the pulsatile pressure gradient. The hybrid multi-step differential transformation method （Hybrid-Ms- DTM） and the Crank-Nicholson method （CNM） are used to solve the partial differential equation （PDE）, and a good agreement between them is observed in the results. The effects of the some physical parameters such as the amplitude, the lead angle, and the body acceleration frequency on the velocity and shear stress profiles are considered. The results show that increasing the amplitude, Ag, and reducing the lead angle of body acceleration, 9, make higher velocity profiles on the center line of both arteries. Also, the maximum wall shear stress increases when Ag increases.展开更多

The sufficient conditions are given to assure the convergence of these methods. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the ADM and the DTM;numerical results are discussed, compared with exact solution. The results of the ADM and the DTM show its better performance than others. These methods give the desired accurate results only in a few terms and in a series form of the solution. The approach is simple and effective. These methods are used to solve many linear and nonlinear problems and reduce the size of computational work.展开更多

The Zhou’s method may be considered as alternative and efficient for finding the approximate solutions of initial values problems. We prove superiority of this method by applying them on the some Euler type equation, in this case of order 2 and 3 [2]. The power series solution of the reduced equation transforms into an approximate implicit solution of the original equations. The results agreed with the exact solution obtained via transformation to a constant coefficient equation.展开更多
