We apply optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) for finding approximate solutions of the Burger's-Huxley and Burger's-Fisher equations. The results obtained by proposed method are compared to those of Adomian decomposition method (ADM) (Ismail et al., (2004)). As a result it is concluded that the method is explicit, effective, and simple to use.

In the last decade, nanoparticles have provided numerous challenges in the field of science. The nanoparticles suspended in various base fluids can transform the flow of fluids and heat transfer characteristics. In this research work, the mathematical model is offered to present the 3D magnetohydrodynamics Darcy–Forchheimer couple stress nanofluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet. Joule heating and viscous dissipation impacts are also discussed in this mathematical model. To examine the relaxation properties, the proposed model of Cattaneo–Christov is supposed. For the first time, the influence of temperature exponent is scrutinized via this research article. The designed system of partial differential equations (PDE’s) is transformed to set of ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) by using similarity transformations. The problem is solved analytically via homotopy analysis technique. Effects of dimensionless couple stress, magnetic field, ratio of rates, porosity, and coefficient of inertia parameters on the fluid flow in x- and y-directions have been examined in this work. The augmented ratio of rates parameter upsurges the velocity profile in the x-direction. The augmented magnetic field, porosity parameter, coefficient of inertia, and couple stress parameter diminishes the velocity field along the x-direction. The augmented magnetic field, porosity parameter, coefficient of inertia, ratio of rates parameter, and couple stress parameter reduces the velocity field along the y-axis. The influences of time relaxation, Prandtl number, and temperature exponent on temperature profile are also discussed. Additionally, the influences of thermophoresis parameter, Schmidt number, Brownian motion parameter, and temperature exponent on fluid concentration are explained in this work. For engineering interests, the impacts of parameters on skin friction and Nusselt number are accessible through tables.

In this article an innovative technique named as Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method has been explored to treat system of KdV equations computed from complex KdV equation. By developing special form of initial value problems to complex KdV equation, three different types of semi analytic complextion solutions from complex KdV equation have been achieved. First semi analytic position solution received from trigonometric form of initial value problem, second is semi analytic negation solution received by hyperbolic form of initial value problem and third one is special type of semi analytic solution expressed by the combination of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. It was proved that only first order OHAM solution is accurate to the closed-form solution.

In this paper, a powerful semianalytical method known as optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) has been formulated for the solution of system of Volterra integro‐differential equations. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed technique are verified by different numerical problems in the literature, and the obtained results are compared with Sinc‐collocation method. These results show the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method does not require discretization like other numerical methods. Moreover, the convergence region can easily be controlled. The use of OHAM is simple and straightforward.
