Such equation arises from non-Newtonian fluids. Its functional separation of variables is studied by using the group foliation method. A classification of the equation which admits the functional separable solutions is performed. As a consequence, some solutions to the resulting equations are obtained.展开更多

The analytical solution of the emerging non-linear differential equation is obtained by employing Homotopy Perturbation Method （HPM）. The outcomes for dimensionless flow rate and dimensionless pressure rise have been computed numerically with respect to sundry concerning parameters amplitude ratio , Hartmann number M, and Sisko fluid parameter bl.
