Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose an efficient and convenient numerical algorithm for two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations (of Hammerstein and mixed types).

Design/methodology/approach

The main idea of the presented algorithm is to combine Bernoulli polynomials approximation with Caputo fractional derivative and numerical integral transformation to reduce the studied two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations to easily solved algebraic equations.

Findings

Without considering the integral operational matrix, this algorithm will adopt straightforward discrete data integral transformation, which can do good work to less computation and high precision. Besides, combining the convenient fractional differential operator of Bernoulli basis polynomials with the least-squares method, numerical solutions of the studied equations can be obtained quickly. Illustrative examples are given to show that the proposed technique has better precision than other numerical methods.

Originality/value

The proposed algorithm is efficient for the considered two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations. As its convenience, the computation of numerical solutions is time-saving and more accurate.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new modified version of the homotopy perturbation method (NMHPM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving the nonlinear ordinary differential equation arising in MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet.

Design/methodology/approach

The governing equation is solved analytically by applying a newly developed optimal homotopy perturbation approach and ADM. This optimal approach contains convergence-control parameter and is computationally rather efficient. The results of numerical example are presented and only a few terms are required to obtain accurate solutions.

Findings

A new modified optimal and ADM methods accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. These methods dramatically reduce the size of work. The obtained series solution is combined with the diagonal Padé approximants to handle the boundary condition at infinity. Results derived from these methods are shown graphically and in tabulated forms to study the efficiency and accuracy.

Practical implications

Non-Newtonian flow processes play a key role in many types of polymer engineering operations. The formulation of mathematical model for these processes can be based on the equations of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is of importance in various areas of technology and engineering such as MHD power generation, MHD flow meters, MHD pumps, etc. It is generally admitted that a number of astronomical bodies (e.g. the sun, Earth, Jupiter, Magnetic stars, Pulsars) posses fluid interiors and (or least surface) magnetic fields.

Originality/value

The present results are original and new for the MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet. The results attained in this paper confirm the idea that NMHPM and ADM are powerful mathematical tools and that can be applied to a large class of linear and nonlinear problems arising in different fields of science and engineering.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to obtain a scheme for the numerical solution of Volterra integro-differential equations with time periodic coefficients deduced from the charged particle motion for certain configurations of oscillating magnetic fields.

Design/methodology/approach

The method reduces the solution of these types of integro-differential equations to the solution of two-dimensional Volterra integral equations of the second kind. The new method uses the discrete collocation method together with thin plate splines constructed on a set of scattered points as a basis.

Findings

The scheme can be easily implemented on a computer and has a computationally attractive algorithm. Numerical examples are included to show the validity and efficiency of the new technique.

Originality/value

The author uses thin plate splines as a type of free-shape parameter radial basis functions which establish an effective and stable method to solve electromagnetic integro-differential equations. As the scheme does not need any background meshes, it can be identified as a meshless method.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new method based on operational matrices of two-dimensional delta functions for solving two-dimensional nonlinear quadratic integral equations (2D-QIEs) of fractional order, numerically.

Design/methodology/approach

For this aim, two-dimensional delta functions are introduced, and their properties are expressed. Then, the fractional operational matrix of integration based on two-dimensional delta functions is calculated for the first time.

Findings

By applying the operational matrices, the main problem would be transformed into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations which can be solved by using Newton's iterative method. Also, a few results related to error estimate and convergence analysis of the proposed method are investigated.

Originality/value

Two numerical examples are presented to show the validity and applicability of the suggested approach. All of the numerical calculation is performed on a personal computer by running some codes written in MATLAB software.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain a numerical scheme for finding numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear Hadamard-type fractional differential equations.

Design/methodology/approach

The aim of this paper is to develop a numerical scheme for numerical solutions of Hadamard-type fractional differential equations. The classical Haar wavelets are modified to align them with Hadamard-type operators. Operational matrices are derived and used to convert differential equations to systems of algebraic equations.

The upper bound for error is estimated. With the help of quasilinearization, nonlinear problems are converted to sequences of linear problems and operational matrices for modified Haar wavelets are used to get their numerical solution. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability and validity of the proposed method.

Originality/value

The numerical method is purposed for solving Hadamard-type fractional differential equations.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a three-dimensional boundary layer flow with considering heat and mass transfer on a nonlinearly stretching sheet by using a novel operational-matrix-based method.

Design/methodology/approach

The partial differential equations that governing the problem are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with considering suitable similarity transformations. A direct numerical method based on the operational matrices of integration and product for the linear barycentric rational basic functions is used to solve the nonlinear system of ODEs.

Findings

Graphical and tabular results are provided to illustrate the effect of various parameters involved in the problem on the velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle volume fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Comparison between the obtained results, numerical results based on the Maple's dsolve (type = numeric) command and previous existing results affirms the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

Originality/value

The motivation of the present study is to provide an effective computational method based on the operational matrices of the barycentric cardinal functions for solving the problem of three-dimensional nanofluid flow with heat and mass transfer. The convergence analysis of the presented scheme is discussed. The benefit of the proposed method (PM) is that, without using any collocation points, the governing equations are converted to the system of algebraic equations.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose a new numerical method for the solution of the Blasius and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Falkner-Skan boundary-layer equations. The Blasius and MHD Falkner-Skan equations are third-order nonlinear boundary value problems on the semi-infinite domain.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach is based upon modified rational Bernoulli functions. The operational matrices of derivative and product of modified rational Bernoulli functions are presented. These matrices together with the collocation method are then utilized to reduce the solution of the Blasius and MHD Falkner-Skan boundary-layer equations to the solution of a system of algebraic equations.

Findings

The method is computationally very attractive and gives very accurate results.

Originality/value

Many problems in science and engineering are set in unbounded domains. One approach to solve these problems is based on rational functions. In this work, a new rational function is used to find solutions of the Blasius and MHD Falkner-Skan boundary-layer equations.
