Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to apply an efficient hybrid computational numerical technique, namely, q-homotopy analysis Sumudu transform method (q-HASTM) and residual power series method (RPSM) for finding the analytical solution of the non-linear time-fractional Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV (HS-cKdV) equations.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed technique q-HASTM is the graceful amalgamations of q-homotopy analysis method with Sumudu transform via Caputo fractional derivative, whereas RPSM depend on generalized formula of Taylors series along with residual error function.

Findings

To illustrate and validate the efficiency of the proposed technique, the authors analyzed the projected non-linear coupled equations in terms of fractional order. Moreover, the physical behavior of the attained solution has been captured in terms of plots and by examining the L2 and L error norm for diverse value of fractional order.

Originality/value

The authors implemented two technique, q-HASTM and RPSM to obtain the solution of non-linear time-fractional HS-cKdV equations. The obtained results and comparison between q-HASTM and RPSM, shows that the proposed methods provide the solution of non-linear models in form of a convergent series, without using any restrictive assumption. Also, the proposed algorithm is easy to implement and highly efficient to analyze the behavior of non-linear coupled fractional differential equation arisen in various area of science and engineering.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to find the solution of time-fractional Korteweg–de-Vries (tfKdV) equations which may be used for modeling various wave phenomena using homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM).

Design/methodology/approach

HPTM, which consists of mainly two parts, the first part is the application of Laplace transform to the differential equation and the second part is finding the convergent series-type solution using homotopy perturbation method (HPM), based on He’s polynomials.

Findings

The study obtained the solution of tfKdV equations. An existing result “as the fractional order of KdV equation given in the first example decreases the wave bifurcates into two peaks” is confirmed with present results by HPTM. A worth mentioning point may be noted from the results is that the number of terms required for acquiring the convergent solution may not be the same for different time-fractional orders.

Originality/value

Although third-order tfKdV and mKdV equations have already been solved by ADM and HPM, respectively, the fifth-order tfKdV equation has not been solved yet. Accordingly, here HPTM is applied to two tfKdV equations of order three and five which are used for modeling various wave phenomena. The results of third-order KdV and KdV equations are compared with existing results.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Entropy generation analysis and heat transport in three-dimensional flow between two stretchable disks. Joule heating and heat generation/absorption are incorporated in the thermal equation. Thermo-diffusion effect is also considered. Flow is conducting for time-dependent applied magnetic field. Induced magnetic field is not taken into consideration. Velocity and thermal slip conditions at both the disks are implemented. The flow problem is modeled by using Navier–Stokes equations with entropy generation rate and Bejan number.

Design/methodology/approach

Von Karman transformations are used to reduce the nonlinear governing expressions into an ordinary one and then tackled by homotopy analysis method for convergent series solutions. The nonlinear expressions for total entropy generation rate are obtained with appropriate transformations. The impacts of different flow variables on velocity, temperature, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are described graphically. Velocity, temperature and concentration gradients are discussed in the presence of flow variables.

Findings

Axial, radial and tangential velocity profiles show decreasing trend for larger values of velocity slip parameters. For a larger Brinkman number, the entropy generation increases, while a decreasing trend is noticed for Bejan number.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such analyses have been reported in the literature.

The purpose of this paper is to apply an efficient semi-analytical method for the approximate solution of Lienard’s equation of fractional order.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to apply an efficient semi-analytical method for the approximate solution of Lienard’s equation of fractional order.

Design/methodology/approach

A Laplace decomposition method (LDM) is implemented for the nonlinear fractional Lienard’s equation that is complemented with initial conditions. The nonlinear term is decomposed and then a recursive algorithm is constructed for the determination of the proposed infinite series solution.

Findings

A number of examples are tested to explicate the efficiency of the proposed technique. The results confirm that this approach is convergent and highly accurate by using only few iterations of the proposed scheme.

Originality/value

The approach is original and is of value because it is the first time that this approach is used successfully to tackle fractional differential equations, which are of great interest for authors in the recent years.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide closed-form approximate solutions to the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation for a semi-infinite aquifer when the hydraulic head at the source is an arbitrary function of time. Combination of the Laplace transform and homotopy perturbation methods (LTHPM) are considered as an algorithm which converges rapidly to the exact solution of the nonlinear Boussinesq equation.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors present the solution of nonlinear Boussinesq equation by combination of Laplace transform and new homotopy perturbation methods. An important property of the proposed method, which is clearly demonstrated in example, is that spectral accuracy is accessible in solving specific nonlinear nonlinear Boussinesq equation which has analytic solution functions.

Findings

The authors proposed a combination of Laplace transform method and homotopy perturbation method to solve the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation. The results are found to be in excellent agreement. The results show that the LTNHPM is an effective mathematical tool which can play a very important role in nonlinear sciences.

Originality/value

The authors provide closed-form approximate solutions to the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation for a semi-infinite aquifer when the hydraulic head at the source is an arbitrary function of time. In this work combination of Laplace transform and new homotopy perturbation methods (LTNHPM) are considered as an algorithm which converges rapidly to the exact solution of the nonlinear Boussinesq equation.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the steady laminar flow of a pressure driven third‐grade fluid with heat transfer in a horizontal channel. The study serves two purposes: to correct the inaccurate results presented in Siddiqui et al., where the homotopy perturbation method was used, and to demonstrate the computational efficiency and accuracy of the spectral‐homotopy analysis methods (SHAM and MSHAM) in solving problems that arise in fluid mechanics.

Design/methodology/approach

Exact and approximate analytical series solutions of the non‐linear equations that govern the flow of a steady laminar flow of a third grade fluid through a horizontal channel are constructed using the homotopy analysis method and two new modifications of this method. These solutions are compared to the full numerical results. A new method for calculating the optimum value of the embedded auxiliary parameter ∼ is proposed.

Findings

The “standard” HAM and the two modifications of the HAM (the SHAM and the MSHAM) lead to faster convergence when compared to the homotopy perturbation method. The paper shows that when the same initial approximation is used, the HAM and the SHAM give identical results. Nonetheless, the advantage of the SHAM is that it eliminates the restriction of searching for solutions to the nonlinear equations in terms of prescribed solution forms that conform to the rule of solution expression and the rule of coefficient ergodicity. In addition, an alternative and more efficient implementation of the SHAM (referred to as the MSHAM) converges much faster, and for all parameter values.

Research limitations/implications

The spectral modification of the homotopy analysis method is a new procedure that has been shown to work efficiently for fluid flow problems in bounded domains. It however remains to be generalized and verified for more complicated nonlinear problems.

Originality/value

The spectral‐HAM has already been proposed and implemented by the authors in a recent paper. This paper serves the purpose of verifying and demonstrating the utility of the new spectral modification of the HAM in solving problems that arise in fluid mechanics. The MSHAM is a further modification of the SHAM to speed up converge and to allow for convergence for a much wider range of system parameter values. The utility of these methods has not been tested and verified for systems of nonlinear equations. For this reason as much emphasis has been placed on proving the reliability and validity of the solution techniques as on the physics of the problem.
