In this article, the effects of viscous dissipation and inertial force on the velocity and temperature distributions of the mixed convection laminar flow in a vertical channel partly filled with a saturated porous medium have been studied. In this regard, the Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model was adopted for the fluid flow in the porous region. In addition, three different viscous dissi...

In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is considered for finding approximate solutions of two-dimensional viscous flow. This technique provides a sequence of functions which converges to the exact solution of the problem. The HPM does not need a small parameters in the equations, but; the perturbation method depends on small parameter assumption and the obtained results. In most ...

In this paper, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method , modified Adomian’s decomposition method , variational iteration method , modified variational iteration method, homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed...

in this paper the maximum power point tracking (mppt) algorithms for wind energy systems arereviewed. as the amounts of power produced in wind power plants is changing due to theinstantaneous changing nature of the wind, it is desirable to determine the one optimal generatorspeed that ensures maximum energy yield. thus, it is important to include a controller that cantrack the maximum peak rega...

Thyristor controlled reactors provide controllable inductances in utility power lines and are increasingly used for static var control and flexible AC transmission. The size of a perturbation from a nominal periodic steady state can be measured by its incremental energy. This paper shows that incremental energy of a small perturbation increases when a thyristor switches on and decreases when a ...

We study accuracy of alternating direction implicit (ADI) methods for parabolic equations. The original ADI method applied to parabolic equations is a perturbation of the Crank-Nicolson di erence equation and has second-order accuracy both in space and time. The perturbation error is on the same order as the discretization error, in terms of mathematical description. However, we often observe i...

in this paper, a new analytical approach has been presented for solving strongly nonlinear oscillator problems. iteration perturbation method leads us to high accurate solution. two different high nonlinear examples are also presented to show the application and accuracy of the presented method. the results are compared with analytical methods and with the numerical solution using runge-kutta m...
