A new application of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method to solve MHD Jeffery-Hamel flows problem in nonparallel walls. (English) Zbl 06209220
Summary: The present paper emphasizes Jeffery-Hamel flow: fluid flow between two rigid plane walls, where the angle between them is $2\alpha$. A new method called the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method ($RKHSM$) is briefly introduced. The validity of the reproducing kernel method is set by comparing our results with HAM, DTM, and HPM and numerical results for different values of $H$, $\alpha$, and Re. The results show up that the proposed reproducing kernel method can achieve good results in predicting the solutions of such problems. Comparison between obtained results showed that $RKHSM$ is more acceptable and accurate than other methods. This method is very useful and applicable for solving nonlinear problems.
