HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD FOR VISCOUS HEATING IN PLANE COUETTE FLOW

ABSTRACT
In this paper, the problem of viscous heating in plane Couette flow is considered by the homotopy perturbation method. The non-linear terms are expanded to Taylor series of the homotopy parameter. The obtained solutions are shown graphically and are compared with the exact solutions. The obtained results illustrate the efficiency and convenience of the method.
