The initial approximations are obtained using linear systems of the Navier-Stokes equations; by the iterations formula of HAM, the first approximation solutions and the second approximation solutions are successively obtained and Homotopy Perturbation Method(HPM) is also used to solve these equations; finally,approximate solutions by HAM of(2+1)-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations without perturbation terms and with perturbation terms are compared. Because of the freedom of choice the auxiliary parameter of HAM, the results demonstrate that the rapid convergence and the high accuracy of the HAM in solving Navier-Stokes equations; due to the effects of perturbation terms, the 3 rd-order approximation solutions by HAM and HPM have great fluctuation.展开更多

Unlike perturbation methods, HAM is not dependent on any small physical parameters at all, and thus valid for both weakly and strongly nonlinear problems. In addition, HAM is different from all other analytic techniques in providing a simple way to adjust and control convergence region of the series solution by means of an auxiliary parameter h. In the present paper, a periodic analytic approximations for nonlinear oscillations with parametric excitation are obtained by using HAM, and the results are validated by numerical simulations.展开更多

It is assumed that its Young’s modulus varies along the longitudinal direction according to a power law. Taking the solution of the corresponding homogeneous beam as the initial guess and obtaining a convergence region by adjusting an auxiliary parameter, the analytical expressions for large deformation of the AFG beam are provided. Results obtained by the HAM are compared with those obtained by the finite element method and those in the previous works to verify its validity. Good agreement is observed. A detailed parametric study is carried out. The results show that the axial material variation can greatly change the deformed configuration, which provides an approach to control and manage the deformation of beams. By tailoring the axial material distribution, a desired deformed configuration can be obtained for a specific load. The analytical solution presented herein can be a helpful tool for this procedure.展开更多

Since the convergence of the iteration is dependent upon the initial values in the iteration, the convergent region is greatly restricted for some cases. In this contribution, in order to enlarge the convergent region of the IHB method, we constructed the zeroth-order deformation equation using the homotopy analysis method, in which the IHB method is employed to solve the deformation equation with an embedding parameter as the active increment. Taking the Duffing and the van der Pol equations as examples, we obtained the highly accurate solutions. Importantly, the presented approach renders a convenient way to control and adjust the convergence.展开更多

The flow is generated due to uniform stretching of the lower plate in x- and y-directions. It is assumed that the upper plate is uniformly porous and is subjected to constant injection. The governing system is fully coupled and nonlinear in nature. A complete analytic solution which is uniformly valid for all values of the dimensionless parameters β Re and λ is obtained by using a purely analytic technique, namely the homotopy analysis method. Also the effects of the parameters β Re and λ on the velocity field are discussed through graphs.展开更多
