PublicationApplication of hybrid cubic B-Spline collocation approach for solving a generalized nonlinear Klien-Gordon equation( 2014)The generalized nonlinear Klien-Gordon equation is important in quantum mechanics and related fields. In this paper, a semi-implicit approach based on hybrid cubic B-spline is presented for the approximate solution of the nonlinear Klien-Gordon equation. The usual finite difference approach is used to discretize the time derivative while hybrid cubic B-spline is applied as an interpolating function in the space dimension. The results of applications to several test problems indicate good agreement with known solutions.

PublicationFlow past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid using two-phase model( 2014-11)The steady two-dimensional flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid is investigated using Buongiorno’s nanofluid model. Different from the previously published papers, in the present study we consider the case when the nanofluid particle fraction on the boundary is passively rather than actively controlled, which make the model more physically realistic. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically by a shooting method. The effects of some governing parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are graphically presented and discussed. Dual solutions are found to exist in a certain range of the suction and stretching/shrinking parameters. Results also indicate that both the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with increasing values of the suction parameter.

PublicationApplications of the fuzzy sumudu transform for the solution of first order fuzzy differential equations( 2015)In this paper, we study the classical Sumudu transform in fuzzy environment, referred to as the fuzzy Sumudu transform (FST). We also propose some results on the properties of the FST, such as linearity, preserving, fuzzy derivative, shifting and convolution theorem. In order to show the capability of the FST, we provide a detailed procedure to solve fuzzy differential equations (FDEs). A numerical example is provided to illustrate the usage of the FST.

PublicationShape preserving data interpolation using rational cubic ball functions( 2015)A smooth curve interpolation scheme for positive, monotone, and convex data is developed.This scheme uses rational cubic Ball representation with four shape parameters in its description. Conditions of two shape parameters are derived in such a way that they preserve the shape of the data, whereas the other two parameters remain free to enable the user to modify the shape of the curve. The degree of smoothness is 𝐶1.The outputs from a number of numerical experiments are presented.

PublicationBoundary layer flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet with a convective boundary condition( 2015)This paper concerns with the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a viscous fluid, with the bottom surface of the plate is heated by convection from a hot fluid. The partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are converted into ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. The effects of the suction, convection and stretching/shrinking parameters on the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are examined and graphically illustrated. Dual solutions are found to exist for a certain range of the suction and stretching/shrinking parameters. The numerical results also show that suction widens the range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for which the solution exists.
