Series Solutions of Unsteady Boundary-Layer Flows over a Stretching Flat Plate

چکیده
An analytic technique, namely, the homotopy analysis method, is applied to give series solution of the unsteady boundary-layer flows over an impermeable stretching plate. Different from all previous perturbation solutions, our series solutions are convergent in the whole time region 0 ≤ τ < +∞. To the best of our knowledge, such kind of series solution has never been reported for this problem. Besides, two kinds of new similarity transformations about dimensionless time are proposed. Using these two different similarity transformations, we obtain the same convergent solution valid in the whole time region 0 ≤ τ < +∞. Furthermore, it is shown that a nonlinear initial/boundary-value problem can be replaced by an infinite number of linear boundary-value subproblems.

Approximate solution of laminar thermal boundary layer over a thin plate heated from below by convection
In this paper, an integration of a symbolic power series method - Padé approximation technique (PS - Padé), was utilized to solve a system of nonlinear differential equations arising from the similarity solution of laminar thermal boundary layer over a flat plate subjected to a convective surface boundary condition. As both boundary conditions tended to infinity, the combination of series solut...
