A hybrid analytical algorithm for thin film flow problem occurring in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics

Abstract

In this work, we investigate thin film flow of a third grade fluid down a inclined plane. The solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem (BVP) is derived by using an effective well organized computational scheme namely homotopy perturbation Elzaki transform method. Furthermore, this model is also resolved by Elzaki decomposition technique. The outcomes achieved by these two approaches are consistent with each other and because of that this technique may be regarded as an optional and effective scheme for determining results of linear and nonlinear BVP. Moreover, the homotopy perturbation Elzaki transform method leads over the Elzaki decomposition method since the nonlinear problems are solved without utilization of Adomian polynomials.
