✦ Synopsis

In this paper a novel hybrid spectral-homotopy analysis technique developed by Motsa et al. (2009) and the homotopy analysis method (HAM) are compared through the solution of the nonlinear equation for the MHD Jeffery-Hamel problem. An analytical solution is obtained using the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and compared with the numerical results and those obtained using the new hybrid method. The results show that the spectral-homotopy analysis technique converges at least twice as fast as the standard homotopy analysis method.

Based on a new global variational formulation, a spectral element approximation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes/Euler coupled problem gives rise to a global discrete saddle problem. The classical Uzawa algorithm decouples the original saddle problem into two positive definite symmetric systems.

This communication aims to report the corrections to HAM results presented in a paper by Ghotbi [1]. The graphical results presented by Ghotbi are observed to be divergent as a consequence of the bad selection of the values of auxiliary parameter h. Further, the results presented by Ghotbi do not ag
