Abstract

 

The aim of this letter is to investigate an axisymmetric squeezing flow of an incompressible fluid generated by two large parallel plates, including fluid inertial effects. The governing equations have been transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation using integribility condition. Solution to the problem is obtained by using an optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). The results reveal that the new method is very effective and simple.

 

Key words: Axisymmetric squeezing flow, slip boundary conditions, optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM).
