An Approach for Approximating Analytical Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Time-Fractional Equation Using the Homotopy Perturbation Sumudu Transform’s Strategy

Abstract

In this study, we utilize the properties of the Sumudu transform (SuT) and combine it with the homotopy perturbation method to address the time fractional Navier-Stokes equation. We introduce a new technique called the homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform Strategy (HPSuTS), which combines the SuT with the homotopy perturbation method using He’s polynomials. This approach proves to be powerful and practical for solving various linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in scientific and engineering fields. We demonstrate the efficiency and simplicity of this method through examples, showcasing its ability to approximate solutions for FPDEs. Additionally, we compare the numerical results obtained using this technique for different values of alpha, showing that as the value moves from a fractional order to an integer order, the solution becomes increasingly similar to the exact solution. Furthermore, we provide the tabular representations of the solution for each example.
