In this article an analytical technique, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied to solve the momentum and energy equations in the case of a two-dimensional incompressible flow passing over a wedge. The trail and error method and Padé approximation strategies have been used to obtain the constant coefficients in the approximated solution. The effects of the polynomial terms of HAM...

Based on a new approximation method, namely pseudospectral method, a solution for the three order nonlinear ordinary differential laminar boundary layer Falkner-Skan equation has been obtained on the semi-infinite domain. The proposed approach is equipped by the orthogonal Hermite functions that have perfect properties to achieve this goal. This method solves the problem on the semi-infinite do...

This article considers Falkner–Skan flow over a dynamic and symmetric wedge under the influence of magnetic field. The Hall effect on field is negligible for small Reynolds numbers. B(x) considered x-axis, which in line with i.e., parallel, while transverse y-axis. study has numerous device-centric applications engineering, such as power generators, cooling reactor heat exchanger design, MHD ac...

This article is a review of ongoing research on analytical, numerical, and mixed methods for the solution third-order nonlinear Falkner–Skan boundary-value problem, which models non-dimensional velocity distribution in laminar boundary layer.

We study the Darboux integrability of the celebrated Falkner– Skan equation f ′′′+ff ′′+λ(1−f ′2) = 0, where λ is a parameter. When λ = 0 this equation is known as Blasius equation. We show that both differential systems have no first integrals of Darboux type. Additionally we compute all the Darboux polynomials and all the exponential factors of these differential equations.
