Abstract

Purpose

Fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) and time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Burger equations (TFCBBEs) play important roles in the fields of solute transport, fluid dynamics, respectively. Although there are many methods for solving the approximate solution, simple and effective methods are more preferred. This paper aims to utilize Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) to construct approximate solutions for these two types of equations and gives some examples of numerical calculations, which can prove the validity of LADM by comparing the error between the calculated results and the exact solution.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper analyzes and investigates the time-space fractional partial differential equations based on the LADM method in the sense of Caputo fractional derivative, which is a combination of the Laplace transform and the Adomian decomposition method. LADM method was first proposed by Khuri in 2001. Many partial differential equations which can describe the physical phenomena are solved by applying LADM and it has been used extensively to solve approximate solutions of partial differential and fractional partial differential equations.

Findings

This paper obtained an approximate solution to the FFPE and TFCBBEs by using the LADM. A number of numerical examples and graphs are used to compare the errors between the results and the exact solutions. The results show that LADM is a simple and effective mathematical technique to construct the approximate solutions of nonlinear time-space fractional equations in this work.

Originality/value

This paper verifies the effectiveness of this method by using the LADM to solve the FFPE and TFCBBEs. In addition, these two equations are very meaningful, and this paper will be helpful in the study of atmospheric diffusion, shallow water waves and other areas. And this paper also generalizes the drift and diffusion terms of the FFPE equation to the general form, which provides a great convenience for our future studies.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper presents the problems using Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) for investigating the deformation and nonlinear behavior of the large deflection problems on Euler-Bernoulli beam.

Design/methodology/approach

The governing equations will be converted to characteristic equations based on the LADM. The validity of the LADM has been confirmed by comparing the numerical results to different methods.

Findings

The results of the LADM are found to be better than the results of Adomian decomposition method (ADM), due to this method's rapid convergence and accuracy to obtain the solutions by using fewer iterative terms. LADM are presented for two examples for large deflection problems. The results obtained from example 1 shows the effects of the loading, horizontal parameters and moment parameters. Example 2 demonstrates the point loading and point angle influence on the Euler-Bernoulli beam.

Originality/value

The results of the LADM are found to be better than the results of ADM, due to this method's rapid convergence and accuracy to obtain the solutions by using fewer iterative terms.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to use the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) to investigate the effects of thermal convection, thermal conduction, surface emissivity and thermal radiation on the heat dissipated by a continuously moving plate undergoing thermal processing.

Design/methodology/approach

In performing the analysis, it is assumed that the thermal conductivity and surface emissivity of the plate are both temperature-dependent. The accuracy of the LADM solutions is confirmed by comparing the results obtained for the temperature distribution within the plate with those reported in the literature based on the differential transformation method.

Findings

It is shown that the heat dissipated from the plate reduces as the Peclet number increases. By contrast, the dissipated heat increases as any one of the non-dimensionalized parameters of the system, i.e. Nc, Nr and B, increases. In addition, the temperature drop along the length of the plate reduces as parameter A increases owing to a more rapid heat transfer.

Originality/value

The results provide a useful source of reference for the choice of suitable materials and cooling fluids in a variety of practical applications.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to obtain semi-analytical solutions of similarity solutions for the nano boundary layer flows with Navier boundary condition. The similarity solutions of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface are investigated.

Design/methodology/approach

In this work, the governing partial differential equations are transformed to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using some proper similarity transformations. Then an efficient semi-analytical method, the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is applied to obtain semi-analytical solutions of the similarity solutions in both of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface. To improve the accuracy and enlarges the convergence domain of the obtained results by the LADM, the study has combined it with Padé approximation.

Findings

Accuracy and efficiency of the presented method are illustrated and denoted through the tables and figures. Also the effects of the suction parameter λ and slip parameter K on the fluid velocity and on the tangential stress are investigated.

Originality/value

The similarity solutions of the governing partial differential equation are obtained analytically by using an efficient developed method, namely the Laplace Adomian decomposition-Padé method. The analytic solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equation are constructed for both of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose the Laplace Adomian Decomposition Method (LADM) for studying the nonlinear temperature and thermal stress analysis of annular fins with time-dependent boundary condition.

Design/methodology/approach

The nonlinear behavior of temperature and thermal stress distribution in an annular fin with rectangular profile subjected to time-dependent periodic temperature variations at the root is studied by the LADM. The radiation effect is considered. The convective heat transfer coefficient is considered as a temperature function.

Findings

The proposed solution method is helpful in overcoming the computational bottleneck commonly encountered in industry and in academia. The results show that the circumferential stress at the root of the fin will be important in the fatigue analysis.

Originality/value

This study presents an effective solution method to analyze the nonlinear behavior of temperature and thermal stress distribution in an annular fin with rectangular profile subjected to time-dependent periodic temperature variations at the root by using LADM.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims that very lately, Mohand transform is introduced to solve the ordinary and partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper, the authors modify this transformation and associate it with a further analytical method called homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for the fractional view of Newell–Whitehead–Segel equation (NWSE). As Mohand transform is restricted to linear obstacles only, as a consequence, HPM is used to crack the nonlinear terms arising in the illustrated problems. The fractional derivatives are taken into the Caputo sense.

Design/methodology/approach

The specific objective of this study is to examine the problem which performs an efficient role in the form of stripe orders of two dimensional systems. The authors achieve the multiple behaviors and properties of fractional NWSE with different positive integers.

Findings

The main finding of this paper is to analyze the fractional view of NWSE. The obtain results perform very good in agreement with exact solution. The authors show that this strategy is absolutely very easy and smooth and have no assumption for the constriction of this approach.

Research limitations/implications

This paper invokes these two main inspirations: first, Mohand transform is associated with HPM, secondly, fractional view of NWSE with different positive integers.

Practical implications

In this paper, the graph of approximate solution has the excellent promise with the graphs of exact solutions.

Social implications

This paper presents valuable technique for handling the fractional PDEs without involving any restrictions or hypothesis.

Originality/value

The authors discuss the fractional view of NWSE by a Mohand transform. The work of the present paper is original and advanced. Significantly, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such work has yet been published in the literature.

Abstract

Purpose

Studying the shear stress and pressure resulting on the walls of blood vessels, especially during high-pressure cases, which may lead to the explosion or rupture of these vessels, can also lead to the death of many patients. Therefore, it was necessary to try to control the shear and normal stresses on these veins through nanoparticles in the presence of some external forces, such as exposure to some electromagnetic shocks, to reduce the risk of high pressure and stress on those blood vessels. This study aims to examines the shear and normal stresses of electroosmotic-magnetized Sutterby Buongiorno’s nanofluid in a symmetric peristaltic channel with a moderate Reynolds number and curvature. The production of thermal radiation is also considered. Sutterby nanofluids equations of motion, energy equation, nanoparticles concentration, induced magnetic field and electric potential are calculated without approximation using small and long wavelengths with moderate Reynolds numbers.

Design/methodology/approach

The Adomian decomposition method solves the nonlinear partial differential equations with related boundary conditions. Graphs and tables show flow features and biophysical factors like shear and normal stresses.

Findings

This study found that when curvature and a moderate Reynolds number are present, the non-Newtonian Sutterby fluid raises shear stress across all domains due to velocity decay, resulting in high shear stress. Additionally, modest mobility increases shear stress across all channel domains. The Sutterby parameter causes fluid motion resistance, which results in low energy generation and a decrease in the temperature distribution.

Originality/value

Equations of motion, energy equation, nanoparticle concentration, induced magnetic field and electric potential for Sutterby nano-fluids are obtained without any approximation i.e. the authors take small and long wavelengths and also moderate Reynolds numbers.

Abstract

Purpose

Investigation of the smoking model is important as it has a direct effect on human health. This paper focuses on the numerical analysis of the fractional order giving up smoking model. Nonetheless, due to observational or experimental errors, or any other circumstance, it may contain some incomplete information. Fuzzy sets can be used to deal with uncertainty. Yet, there may be some inconsistency in the membership as well. As a result, the primary goal of this proposed work is to numerically solve the model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.

Design/methodology/approach

Triangular perfect quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers (TPQT2FNs) are used to deal with the uncertainty in the model. In this work, concepts of r2-cut at r1-plane are used to model the problem's uncertain parameter. The Legendre wavelet method (LWM) is then utilised to solve the giving up smoking model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.

Findings

LWM has been effectively employed in conjunction with the r2-cut at r1-plane notion of type-2 fuzzy sets to solve the model. The LWM has the advantage of converting the non-linear fractional order model into a set of non-linear algebraic equations. LWM scheme solutions are found to be well agreed with RK4 scheme solutions. The existence and uniqueness of the model's solution have also been demonstrated.

Originality/value

To deal with the uncertainty, type-2 fuzzy numbers are used. The use of LWM in a type-2 fuzzy uncertain environment to achieve the model's required solutions is quite fascinating, and this is the key focus of this work.
