Analysis of modified second-grade fluids in thin film configurations employing the asymptotic homotopy perturbation method
摘要
This article investigates the steady, incompressible and non-isothermal thin film flow of a modified second grade fluid under both conditions that is, lifting and drainage. The governing highly non-linear ordinary differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions have been solved and achieved approximate solutions employing the Asymptotic Homotopy Perturbation Method (AHPM). The velocity and temperature distributions have been obtained, moreover average velocity, shear stress and volume flow rate at the belt surface are presented graphically for both lifting and drainage configurations. Here it is worth mentioning that the flow of thin films are significantly influenced by
