problems.

4. 1 Introduction
• Most of engineering problems, especially
some heat transfer and fluid flow equations
are nonlinear, therefore
• some of them solved using computational
fluid dynamic (numerical) method and some
are solved using the
• analytical perurbation method [1-3].
6. • The governing equations for the temperature
distribution along the surfaces are nonlinear.
• In consequence, exact analytic solutions of
such nonlinear problems are not available in
general and scientists use some
approximation techniques to approximate the
solutions of nonlinear equations as a series
solution such as perturbation method;
7. The perturbation method
• Many physics and engineering problems can be
modelled by differential equations.
• However, it is difficult to obtain closed-form
solutions for them, especially for nonlinearones.
In most cases, only approximate solutions (either
analytical ones or numerical ones)can be
expected.
• Perturbation method is one of the well-known
methods for solving nonlinear problems
analytically.
8. Importance of method
• In recent years, there has appeared an ever
increasing interest of scientist and engineers
in analytical techniques for studying nonlinear
problems. Such techniques have been
dominated by the perturbation methods and
have found many applications in science,
engineering and technology.
9. • Finding the small parameter and exerting it
into the equation are therefore the problems
with this method.
• Perturbation method is one of the well-known
methods to solve the nonlinear equations
which was studied by a large number of
researchers such as Bellman [5] and Cole [6].
10. • To solve limitations which depends upon the
existence of a small parameter, developing the
method for different applications is very difficult.
• Therefore, many different new methods have
recently introduced some ways to eliminate the
small parameter such as
1. artificial parameter method introduced by Liu
2. The homotopy analysis method by Liao
3. the variational iteration method by He.
11. perturbation methods limitations.
• all perturbation methods require the presence
of a small parameter in the nonlinear
equation and approximate solutions of
equation containing this parameter are
expressed as series expansions in the small
parameter.
• Selection of small parameter requires a special
skill and very important
12. • In general, the perturbation method is valid
only for weakly nonlinear problems[Nayfeh
• (2000)]. For example, consider the following
heat transfer problem governed by the
nonlinear ordinary differential equation, see
[Abbasbandy (2006)]:
13. • The main disadvantage of the method is the
increasing difficulty of obtaining higher order
terms.
14. • In this method the solution is considered as
the summation of an infinite series which
usually converges rapidly to the exact solution.
• This simple method has been applied to solve
linear and non-linear equations of heat
transfer
16. • . If the basic equations describing a phase-
change problem can be expressed such that
one of the parameters or variables is small (or
very large) then the full equations can be
approximated by letting the perturbation
quantity approach its limitand an approximate
solution can be found in terms of this
perturbation quantity.
17. • Such a solution approaches a limit as the
perturbation quantity approaches zero (or
infinity) and is thus an asymptotic solution.
The result can often be improved by
expanding in a series of successive
approximations, the first term of which is the
limiting solution. One then has an asymptotic
series or expansion. Thus we perturb the
limiting solution by parameter or coordinates.
18. • The first step in a perturbation analysis is to
identify the perturbation quantity This is done by
expressing the mathematical model in a
dimensionless form, assessing the order of
magnitude of different terms and identifying the
term that is small compared to others. The
coefficient of this term, which could be a
dimensionless parameter or a dimensionless
variable, is then chosen as a perturbation
quantity and designated by the symbol ϵ.
19. • Once ϵ is identified, the solution is assumed as
an asymptotic series of ϵ. Next, this series
solution is substituted into the governing
equations for the problem. By equating the
coefficients of each power of ϵ to zero, one
can generate a sequence of subproblems.
These problems are solved in succession to
obtain the unknown coefficients of the series
solution.
20. • The foregoing procedure is termedparameter perturbation
or coordinate perturbation depending on whether e is a
parameteror a coordinate. In either ease, a further
distinction is made between regular perturbation if the
expansion is uniformly valid and singular perturbation if
the expansion fails in certain regions ofthe domain. When
a singular perturbation expansion is encountered, the
usefulness ofthe solution is limited unless it can be
rendered uniformly valid. Note that the terms in the
expansion need not be convergent for the results to be
useful since its asymptotic nature assures that only a few
• terms may yield adequate accuracy for small values of e.
21. ASYMPTOTIC POINT OF VIEW
• In `classical' perturbation problems, the
solution can be written as a series expansion
in
• the small parameter. In singular perturbation
problems this can be done as well, but the
• domain where the problem is dened has to be
divided in subdomains, in each of which other
• series expansions are valid.

24. • Example 1.0.1. Consider
• x − 2 = ε cosh x (1.1)
• For ε = 0 we cannot solve this in closed form. (Note: ε = 0 ⇒ x = 2)
• The equation defines a function x : (−ε, ε) → R (some range of ε either side of 0)
• We might look for a solution of the form x = x0+εx1+ε2x2+· · · and by subsititung
• this into equation (1.1) we have
x0 + εx1 + ε2x2 + · · · − 2 = ε cosh(x0 + εx1 + · · ·)
Now for ε = 0, x0 = 2 and so for a suitably small ε
2 + εx1 − 2 ≈ ε cosh(2 + εx1 + · · · )
⇒ x1 ≈ cosh(2)
⇒ x(ε) = 2 + ε cosh(ε) + · · ·
For example, if we set ε = 10−2 we get x = 2.037622... where the exact solution is
x = 2.039068...
25. CONCLUDING REMARKS
• The perturbation approach has proved
effective and convenient in one-dimensional
situations, However, the method has also
limited success with two-dimensional cases;
• Despite their limited success in more complex
problems, perturbation methods often prove
invaluable in illuminating the physics of the
problem.
