A study on Marangoni convection by the variational iteration method

arXiv:1203.1721 · doi:10.1063/1.4756149

Abstract

In this letter, we will consider the use of the variational iteration method and Padé approximant for finding approximate solutions for a Marangoni convection induced flow over a free surface due to an imposed temperature gradient. The solutions are compared with the numerical (fourth-order Runge Kutta) solutions.
