Investigating Jeffery-Hamel flow with high magnetic field and nanoparticle by HPM and AGM

2014 
In this study, the effects of magnetic field and nanoparticle on the Jeffery-Hamel flow are studied using two powerful analytical methods, Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and a simple and innovative approach which we have named it Akbari-Ganji’s Method(AGM). Comparisons have been made between HPM, AGM and Numerical Method and the acquired results show that these methods have high accuracy for different values of α, Hartmann numbers, and Reynolds numbers. The flow field inside the divergent channel is studied for various values of Hartmann number and angle of channel. The effect of nanoparticle volume fraction in the absence of magnetic field is investigated.
