Abstract

In this paper, a numerical algorithm based on new homotopy analysis sumudu transform method (HASTM) is proposed to solve a nonlinear boundary value problem arising in the study of thin flow of a third-grade fluid down an inclined plane. The homotopy analysis sumudu transform is a combined form of sumudu transform and homotopy analysis method. The proposed technique finds the solution without any discretization or restrictive assumptions and avoids the round-off errors. The numerical results show that the proposed approach is very efficient and simple and can be applied to other nonlinear problems.
