The steady thin film flow on a vertical belt of a non-Newtonian Johnson–Segalman fluid for lifting and drainage problems are investigated in this paper. The analytical solutions of the non-linear problems are obtained by Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). Expressions for the velocity profile, average velocity, volume flux, the belt speed of the lifting an...

In this paper homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to solve two kinds of differential equations: one dimensional non homogeneous parabolic partial differential equation and non linear differential equation. Using the HPM, an exact analytical solution to non homogeneous parabolic partial differential equation and an approximate explicit solution for a non linear differential equation w...

Homotopy perturbation method HPM and boundary element method BEM for calculating the exact and numerical solutions of Poisson equation with appropriate boundary and initial conditions are presented. Exact solutions of electrostatic potential problems defined by Poisson equation are found using HPM given boundary and initial conditions. The same problems are also solved using the BEM. The cell i...

In this work, a powerful analytical method called homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is used to obtain the series solution for nonlinear problems in classic dynamics. The governing equations are obtained using the Lagrange method and solved analytically by HPM. The present solution gives an expression which is valid for the whole domain of the solution. Comparisons of the obtained solutions wit...

This method control the convergence of approximate solution in a convenient way, when it is compared with other methods of solution found in the literature as Homotopy Perturb...

The aim of this article is to model and analyze an unsteady axisymmetric flow of non-conducting, Newtonian fluid squeezed between two circular plates passing through porous medium channel with slip boundary condition. A single fourth order nonlinear ordinary differential equation is obtained using similarity transformation. The resulting boundary value problem is solved using Homotopy Perturbat...

The equations governing the flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible viscous fluid over an infinite flat plate in the presence of a magnetic field are investigated using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) with Padé approximants (PA) and 4 order Runge–Kutta method (4RKM). Approximate analytical and numerical solutions for the velocity field and heat transfer are obtained and compar...

It is well-known that the matrix equations play a significant role in several applications in science and engineering. There are various approaches either direct methods or iterative methods to evaluate the solution of these equations. In this research article, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) will employ to deduce the approximated solution of the linear matrix equation in the form AXB=C....

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) proposed by Liao in 1992 and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) proposed by He in 1998 are compared through an evolution equation used as the second example in a recent paper by Ganji et al (2007). It is found that the HPM is a special case of the HAM when ~ = −1. However, the HPM solution is divergent for all x and t except t = 0. It is als...

To obtain approximate-exact solutions to nonlocal initial-boundary value problems (IBVPs) of linear and nonlinear parabolic hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) subject initial boundary conditions integral type, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is utilized in this study. The HPM used solve specified IBVPs, which are then transformed into local Dirichlet IBVPs. Some examples de...
