Homotopy analysis transform algorithm to solve time-fractional foam drainage equation

Abstract

This paper emphasizes on finding the solution for a foam drainageequation using the technique of modified homotopy analysis transform method (MHATM). MHATM is a new amalgamation of the homotopy analysis method and Laplace transform method with homotopy polynomial. Comparisons are made between the results of the proposed method for different values of fractional derivative α and exact solutions. Then, we analyze the results by numerical simulations, which demonstrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the present method.
