The original partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into ordinary forms by applying proper similarity conversions. Initially formulated for an infinite domain [0, ∞), the problem was then converted to a finite domain [0, 1] using wavelet transformations. The Bernoulli wavelet method (BWM) was employed to numerically solve the transformed equations within the MATHEMATICA 12 platform. The obtained findings are extremely compared with earlier research that examined various specific scenarios within the problem. A detailed investigation of the physical limitations is conducted and the numerical results are visually presented to provide clear illustrations. A higher Prandtl number leads to reduced thermal diffusivity, resulting in a thinner thermal boundary layer and steeper temperature gradients concentrated near the surface. Similarly, an increase in the Lewis number lowers molecular diffusivity, producing a more confined solutal boundary layer. The presence of an internal heat source further elevates fluid temperature near the stretching sheet, expanding the thermal boundary layer due to added thermal energy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34531,"journal":{"name":"Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 101262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hybrid nanofluid’s improved thermal behavior is a key focus. It is found that the increasing sheet thickness leads to higher temperatures, while velocity and concentration drop. Greater thermal radiation and more silicon dioxide particles enhance the heat transfer, improving efficiency by 12% and reducing drag (skin friction) by 15% under optimized conditions. Thermal conductivity improves with more nanoparticles, raising the Nusselt number.

Given their importance, finding solutions to these systems is essential and a core property. Various methods have been developed to find a solution to a system of nonlinear FPDEs. However, these methods are difficult to implement and sometimes converge slowly. In the worst-case scenario, applying the differential transform method may produce a series that does not converge to the exact solution of a system of nonlinear FPDEs. The semi-separation of variables method (S-SVM) is a recent and reliable analytic method that has not been applied to obtain an exact solution to a system of nonlinear FPDEs. Furthermore, S-SVM has not been improved to observe faster convergence. In this paper, the S-SVM is used to obtain the exact solution to the system of nonlinear FPDEs. In addition, the S-SVM is further improved as a Modified S-SVM (MS-SVM), which is applied to find an exact solution to the system of nonlinear FPDEs. Also, numerical experiments using the S-SVM and the MS-SVM in both two and three dimensions are provided therein, along with a comparison of their solutions to those obtained from the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), the Laplace Variational Iteration Method (LVIM), and the Fractional Power Series Method (FPSM).
