摘要
An approximate analytical solution is obtained of the steady, laminar three-dimensional flow for an incompressible, viscous fluid past a stretching sheet using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) proposed by He. The flow is governed by a boundary value problem (BVP) consisting of a pair of non-linear differential equations. The solution is simple yet highly accurate and compares favorably with the exact solutions obtained early in the literature. The methodology presented in the paper is useful for solving the BVPs consisting of more than one differential equation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
