Analytical study on the slip flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over a stretching sheet using Adomians method

摘要

In the present paper, an effective approach is introduced to overcome the difficulties of imposing boundary conditions at infinity, which are used to modelling the boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a stretching sheet. The proposed scheme is mainly based on the Adomian decomposition method with an effective procedure to imposing the boundary conditions at infinity. On applying the present approach to approximate the solution of a boundary value problem in the literature, it is found that only two components of Adomian's series are sufficient to achieve the same accuracy of the homotopy analysis method using forty iterations.
