We apply the Adomian decomposition method to a power-law problem for solutions that do not change the sign of curvature Inparticular we consider solutions with positive curvature The power series obtained via the Adomian decomposition method isused to estimate the shear stress parameter as well as the instant of time where the solution reaches its terminal point of a steadystate We compare our results with estimates obtained via numerical integrators More importantly we illustrate that the error ispredictable and can be reduced without further effort or using higher order terms in the approximating series
1 Introduction
Due to its interestingmathematical properties andhuge num-ber of applications the problem of non-Newtonian fluid flowhas attracted attention from a large number of researchersThe most commonly used model for non-Newtonian fluidmechanics is the Ostwald-de Waele model with a power-lawrheologyThe value of the power-law index 119899 = 1 correspondsto aNewtonian fluidwhile 119899 gt 1describes a dilatant or shear-thickening fluid and 0 lt 119899 lt 1 describes a pseudo-plasticor shear-thinning fluid The corresponding nonlinear third-order problem is the following

Earlier studies of this problem date back to the workby Blasius [1] where he considered the case where 119899 = 1Existence and uniqueness of similar power-law problemshave also been studied by Guedda and Hammouch [2 3]Nachman and Taliaferro [4] and Zheng et al [5] to mentiona few In particular in [5] the authors studied the problemwith identical boundary conditions to the ones consideredhere but with coefficient equal to 1 on the second terminvolving 11989111989110158401015840 in (1) aboveTheir approach however enabledthem to obtain bounds on an important parameter theskin friction coefficient in addition to proving existenceand uniqueness They compared their results to numericalestimates to illustrate their accuracy and it was observed thattheir bounds (upper and lower for skin friction) were veryclose for large 119899 so that an accurate estimate can readilybe obtained by taking for example the average of thosetwo bounds We will not be able to compare our results to

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering
theirs directly however due to the coefficient on the secondterm in (1) above which somewhat changes the ldquodynamicsrdquoof the governing equation and its solutions (even thoughthe deviation may be small for some smaller values of 119899)Howell et al [6] studied the problem in the context ofmomentum and heat transfer In [7] the authors Chen et alconsidered boundary layer flow of an electrically conductingnon-Newtonian fluid in the presence of a magnetic fieldTheir setting required two additional terms in the equationinvolving 1198911015840 and (1198911015840)2 explicitly but with slightly differentboundary conditions They proceeded to utilize Croccovariables and theAdomian decompositionmethod (ADM) toobtain approximate solutions to the problem (in the Croccovariables domain) as well as estimate the value of the skinfriction coefficient and they illustrated the accuracy of theirfindings Further numerical and approximate solutions canbe found in [8ndash11] for example
Existence and uniqueness were established for the exactcurrent problem at hand in [12] where all possible values ofthe power-law index 119899 were considered and it was assumedthat 11989110158401015840 ge 0 (or 11991010158401015840 ge 0) In [13 14] one finds extensivediscussion of the general theory of non-Newtonian boundarylayer flow fluids including the physical derivation of thepower-law problem Lastly we note that in [15] a unifiedequation governing positive and negative curvatures fornon-Newtonian power-law fluids was derived and analyticalsolutions were obtained
In Section 2 we derive the first few terms in a power seriesexpansion (using the ADM) for the solution to the problemand use those terms to approximate the solution where ourapproach will help in obtaining estimates not only for theshear stress parameter but also for the instant of time 119905

our results to numerical estimates obtained via numericalcomputer integrators

The solution must go on to 1199104 1199105 and so forth We
take 119910 asymp 1199100+ 1199101+ 1199102+ 1199103as an approximate solution
(which turns out to yield high accuracy relatively speakingin approximating shear stress) and use it to estimate thevalues of the shear stress parameter 120574 as well as the instant oftime where the solution virtually reaches a constant velocitynamely 119905
119891 where 1198911015840(119905
119891) = 1 11989110158401015840(119905

and using the current notation 119905119891is the minimum value of
119909 gt 0 such that 1199101015840(119909) = 1 and 11991010158401015840(119909) = 0 and where the lasttwo conditions hold for all 119909 ge 119905
119891)
3 Numerical and Series Estimates
Using the series in the previous section as an approximationto the solution of the problem one obtains the followingestimates for the initial curvature at 119905 = 0 (also referred to asthe shear stress or vorticity parameter) namely 120574 = 2120572 aswellas 119905119891 We compare our results (referred to here as ldquoseriesrdquo)
with those obtained from numerical MATLAB integratorswhich are anticipated to have high accuracy (referred to hereas ldquonumericalrdquo) We expect future works will obtain resultsusing other numerical schemes and methods Table 1 showsresults for 119899 = 15 whereas Tables 2 and 3 show results for119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 respectively We observe that for values of120598 lt 1 the estimated values of the shear stress parameter 120574 arequite accurate (especially for values of 120598 closer to 1) as long as119899 stays close to 119899 = 2 where the equation reduces to a linearequation
The ranges we considered here for 119899 and 120598 are verypractical which signifies the current results On the otherhand while the estimation of the values of 119905
119891may not be
as significant as that for the shear stress parameter 120574 welist two observations The needed accuracy for 119905
119891is not as
acutecrucial as that for 120574 in applications so that our estimatesare considered relatively accurate Secondly the error in 119905
119891is
one sided it is an underestimate for 119899 = 15 while it is anoverestimate for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Therefore a correctioncan be simply done The same observation holds true for thevalues of shear stress parameter 120574 for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Infact for 119899 = 25 adding 0004 to each estimated value of 120574willensure an error of less than 0001 On the other hand for 119899 =3 adding 00083 to each estimated value of 120574 will ensure anerror of less than 00018This shows that our approach proveshighly accurate as the predictable error provides means tosignificantly improve the estimates without furtheraddedwork and effort For 119899 = 15 the estimated values for 120574 arerelatively speaking very accurate
It is also noted that the error increases with decreasing120598 so that the error can further be reduced by looking for aquadratic or higher order interaction between the error and120598 to further reduce the error but we leave the details of thisanalysis
Lastly observe that for a wide range of 120598 le 0 the error canbe singled out as staying virtually constant an observationthat can help in reducing the error with virtually no effortto practically almost 0 once it is determined for one or twomeasurements for each value of interest of 119899
4 Conclusions
The Adomian decomposition method was used to obtainapproximate series solution for a power-law problem that hasrecently been studied in literature The approximate solutionwas used to obtain estimates for the shear stress parameter 120574as well as the time to reach terminal pointsolution 119905
119891 It was
noticed that only four terms of the infinite series were sufficientto obtain high accuracy for a certain very practical range of

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering
theirs directly however due to the coefficient on the secondterm in (1) above which somewhat changes the ldquodynamicsrdquoof the governing equation and its solutions (even thoughthe deviation may be small for some smaller values of 119899)Howell et al [6] studied the problem in the context ofmomentum and heat transfer In [7] the authors Chen et alconsidered boundary layer flow of an electrically conductingnon-Newtonian fluid in the presence of a magnetic fieldTheir setting required two additional terms in the equationinvolving 1198911015840 and (1198911015840)2 explicitly but with slightly differentboundary conditions They proceeded to utilize Croccovariables and theAdomian decompositionmethod (ADM) toobtain approximate solutions to the problem (in the Croccovariables domain) as well as estimate the value of the skinfriction coefficient and they illustrated the accuracy of theirfindings Further numerical and approximate solutions canbe found in [8ndash11] for example
Existence and uniqueness were established for the exactcurrent problem at hand in [12] where all possible values ofthe power-law index 119899 were considered and it was assumedthat 11989110158401015840 ge 0 (or 11991010158401015840 ge 0) In [13 14] one finds extensivediscussion of the general theory of non-Newtonian boundarylayer flow fluids including the physical derivation of thepower-law problem Lastly we note that in [15] a unifiedequation governing positive and negative curvatures fornon-Newtonian power-law fluids was derived and analyticalsolutions were obtained
In Section 2 we derive the first few terms in a power seriesexpansion (using the ADM) for the solution to the problemand use those terms to approximate the solution where ourapproach will help in obtaining estimates not only for theshear stress parameter but also for the instant of time 119905

our results to numerical estimates obtained via numericalcomputer integrators

(which turns out to yield high accuracy relatively speakingin approximating shear stress) and use it to estimate thevalues of the shear stress parameter 120574 as well as the instant oftime where the solution virtually reaches a constant velocitynamely 119905

119891)
3 Numerical and Series Estimates
Using the series in the previous section as an approximationto the solution of the problem one obtains the followingestimates for the initial curvature at 119905 = 0 (also referred to asthe shear stress or vorticity parameter) namely 120574 = 2120572 aswellas 119905119891 We compare our results (referred to here as ldquoseriesrdquo)
with those obtained from numerical MATLAB integratorswhich are anticipated to have high accuracy (referred to hereas ldquonumericalrdquo) We expect future works will obtain resultsusing other numerical schemes and methods Table 1 showsresults for 119899 = 15 whereas Tables 2 and 3 show results for119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 respectively We observe that for values of120598 lt 1 the estimated values of the shear stress parameter 120574 arequite accurate (especially for values of 120598 closer to 1) as long as119899 stays close to 119899 = 2 where the equation reduces to a linearequation
The ranges we considered here for 119899 and 120598 are verypractical which signifies the current results On the otherhand while the estimation of the values of 119905
119891may not be
as significant as that for the shear stress parameter 120574 welist two observations The needed accuracy for 119905
119891is not as
acutecrucial as that for 120574 in applications so that our estimatesare considered relatively accurate Secondly the error in 119905
119891is
one sided it is an underestimate for 119899 = 15 while it is anoverestimate for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Therefore a correctioncan be simply done The same observation holds true for thevalues of shear stress parameter 120574 for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Infact for 119899 = 25 adding 0004 to each estimated value of 120574willensure an error of less than 0001 On the other hand for 119899 =3 adding 00083 to each estimated value of 120574 will ensure anerror of less than 00018This shows that our approach proveshighly accurate as the predictable error provides means tosignificantly improve the estimates without furtheraddedwork and effort For 119899 = 15 the estimated values for 120574 arerelatively speaking very accurate
It is also noted that the error increases with decreasing120598 so that the error can further be reduced by looking for aquadratic or higher order interaction between the error and120598 to further reduce the error but we leave the details of thisanalysis
Lastly observe that for a wide range of 120598 le 0 the error canbe singled out as staying virtually constant an observationthat can help in reducing the error with virtually no effortto practically almost 0 once it is determined for one or twomeasurements for each value of interest of 119899
4 Conclusions
The Adomian decomposition method was used to obtainapproximate series solution for a power-law problem that hasrecently been studied in literature The approximate solutionwas used to obtain estimates for the shear stress parameter 120574as well as the time to reach terminal pointsolution 119905
119891 It was
noticed that only four terms of the infinite series were sufficientto obtain high accuracy for a certain very practical range of

119891) = 1 11989110158401015840(119905
119891) = 0 (More precisely
and using the current notation 119905119891is the minimum value of
119909 gt 0 such that 1199101015840(119909) = 1 and 11991010158401015840(119909) = 0 and where the lasttwo conditions hold for all 119909 ge 119905

3 Numerical and Series Estimates
Using the series in the previous section as an approximationto the solution of the problem one obtains the followingestimates for the initial curvature at 119905 = 0 (also referred to asthe shear stress or vorticity parameter) namely 120574 = 2120572 aswellas 119905119891 We compare our results (referred to here as ldquoseriesrdquo)
with those obtained from numerical MATLAB integratorswhich are anticipated to have high accuracy (referred to hereas ldquonumericalrdquo) We expect future works will obtain resultsusing other numerical schemes and methods Table 1 showsresults for 119899 = 15 whereas Tables 2 and 3 show results for119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 respectively We observe that for values of120598 lt 1 the estimated values of the shear stress parameter 120574 arequite accurate (especially for values of 120598 closer to 1) as long as119899 stays close to 119899 = 2 where the equation reduces to a linearequation
The ranges we considered here for 119899 and 120598 are verypractical which signifies the current results On the otherhand while the estimation of the values of 119905
119891may not be
as significant as that for the shear stress parameter 120574 welist two observations The needed accuracy for 119905
119891is not as
acutecrucial as that for 120574 in applications so that our estimatesare considered relatively accurate Secondly the error in 119905
119891is
one sided it is an underestimate for 119899 = 15 while it is anoverestimate for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Therefore a correctioncan be simply done The same observation holds true for thevalues of shear stress parameter 120574 for 119899 = 25 and 119899 = 3 Infact for 119899 = 25 adding 0004 to each estimated value of 120574willensure an error of less than 0001 On the other hand for 119899 =3 adding 00083 to each estimated value of 120574 will ensure anerror of less than 00018This shows that our approach proveshighly accurate as the predictable error provides means tosignificantly improve the estimates without furtheraddedwork and effort For 119899 = 15 the estimated values for 120574 arerelatively speaking very accurate
It is also noted that the error increases with decreasing120598 so that the error can further be reduced by looking for aquadratic or higher order interaction between the error and120598 to further reduce the error but we leave the details of thisanalysis
Lastly observe that for a wide range of 120598 le 0 the error canbe singled out as staying virtually constant an observationthat can help in reducing the error with virtually no effortto practically almost 0 once it is determined for one or twomeasurements for each value of interest of 119899
4 Conclusions
The Adomian decomposition method was used to obtainapproximate series solution for a power-law problem that hasrecently been studied in literature The approximate solutionwas used to obtain estimates for the shear stress parameter 120574as well as the time to reach terminal pointsolution 119905
119891 It was
noticed that only four terms of the infinite series were sufficientto obtain high accuracy for a certain very practical range of
