Comparison of different analytic solutions to axisymmetric squeezing fluid flow between two infinite parallel plates with slip boundary conditions (Q410241)

Summary: We investigate squeezing flow between two large parallel plates by transforming the basic governing equations of the first grade fluid to an ordinary nonlinear differential equation using the stream functions \(u_r(r, z, t) = (1/r)(\partial \psi/\partial z)\) and \(u_z(r, z, t) = -(1/r)(\partial \psi/\partial r)\) and a transformation \(\psi(r, z) = r^2 F(z)\). The velocity profiles are investigated through various analytical techniques like Adomian decomposition method, new iterative method, homotopy perturbation, optimal homotopy asymptotic method, and differential transform method.
