A Comparative Approach to the Solution of the Zabolotskaya-Khokhlov Equation by Iteration Methods

We employed different iteration methods like Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), and Variational Iteration Method (VIM) to find the approximate solution to the Zabolotskaya-Khokhlov (ZK) equation. Iteration methods are used to solve linear and nonlinear PDEs whose cla...

Description
Summary:We employed different iteration methods like Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), and Variational Iteration Method (VIM) to find the approximate solution to the Zabolotskaya-Khokhlov (ZK) equation. Iteration methods are used to solve linear and nonlinear PDEs whose classical methods are either very complex or too limited to apply. A comparison study has been made to see which of these methods converges to the approximate solution rapidly. The result revealed that, amongst these methods, ADM is more effective and simpler tool in its nature which does not require any transformation or linearization.
