Application of He's variational iteration method to nonlinear heat transfer equations

Instead of finding a small parameter for solving nonlinear problems through perturbation method, a new analytical method called He's variational iteration method (VIM) is introduced to be applied to solve nonlinear heat transfer equations in this Letter. In this research, variational iteration method is used to solve an unsteady nonlinear convective-radiative equation and a nonlinear convective-radiative-conduction equation containing two small parameters of ε₁ and ε₂ and evaluate the efficiency of straight fins. VIM can apply to the nonlinear equations with boundary or initial conditions defined in different points just with developing the correction functional using the extra parameters such as Cn, as used in this Letter.

Numerical simulations of systems of PDEs by variational iteration method

In this Letter, a general framework of the variational iteration method (VIM) is presented for solving systems of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In VIM, a correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange's multiplier which can be identified via a variational theory. VIM yields an approximate solution in the form of a rapid convergent series. Comparison with the exact solutions shows that VIM is a powerful method for the solution of linear and nonlinear systems of PDEs.

Application of variational iteration method and homotopy–perturbation method for nonlinear heat diffusion and heat transfer equations

Perturbation methods depend on a small parameter which is difficult to be found for real-life nonlinear problems. To overcome this shortcoming, two new but powerful analytical methods are introduced to solve nonlinear heat transfer problems in this Letter; one is He's variational iteration method (VIM) and the other is the homotopy–perturbation method (HPM). Nonlinear convective–radiative cooling equations are used as examples to illustrate the simple solution procedures. These methods are useful and practical for solving the nonlinear heat diffusion equation, which is associated with variable thermal conductivity condition. Comparison of the results obtained by both methods with exact solutions reveals that both methods are tremendously effective.
