Solution of the Falkner–Skan wedge flow by a revised optimal homotopy asymptotic method

Abstract

In this paper, a revised optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) is applied to derive an explicit analytical solution of the Falkner–Skan wedge flow problem. The comparisons between the present study with the numerical solutions using (fourth order Runge–Kutta) scheme and with analytical solution using HPM-Padé of order [4/4] and order [13/13] show that the revised form of OHAM is an extremely effective analytical technique.
