Abstract

This paper analyzes the mathematical model of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fluid flow in a general conduit (planar, cylindrical and spherical) with an ion drag configuration. The phenomenon is modelled using a nonlinear differential equation. The velocity field is obtained by solving this nonlinear equation using two analytical methods. The effects of the Hartmann electric number and nonlinearity strength are discussed and presented graphically. Additionally, we compare this method with a numerical solution obtained using MATLAB, demonstrating that the proposed approaches are less computational intensive and more efficient for solving the underlined problem.
