Abstract

In this paper, the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied to the damped Burgers and
Boussinesq-Burgers equations to obtain their approximate analytical solutions. The HAM solution includes
an auxiliary parameter h¯ which provides a convenient way to adjust and control the convergence region of the
solution series. An appropriate choice of the auxiliary parameter in the model problems for increasing time
is investigated.

Keywords
