Abstract
Abstract This paper suggests a novel modified homotopy perturbation transform method (MHPTM) for a nonlinear boundary layer problem by suitable choice of an initial solution. The steady Navier–Stokes equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity variables. The governing nonlinear differential equations are solved by means of MHPTM. The equations are Laplace transformed and the nonlinear terms represented by He's polynomials. The series solution of the nonlinear boundary layer problem is obtained. For such a boundary layer problem, the second derivative at zero is an important point of function, so we have computed f″(0) and compared it with other results. An excellent agreement between the MHPTM and HPM is achieved. Such flow analysis is even not available yet for the hydrodynamic fluid. The series solution for MHD boundary layer problem with slip condition by means of MHPTM is yet not available in the literature
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
