This paper presents a new method for solving higher order nonlinear evolution partial differential equations (NPDEs). The method combines quasilinearisation, the Chebyshev spectral collocation method, and bivariate Lagrange interpolation. In this paper, we use the method to solve several nonlinear evolution equations, such as the modified KdV-Burgers equation, highly nonlinear modified KdV equation, Fisher's equation, Burgers-Fisher equation, Burgers-Huxley equation, and the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation. The results are compared with known exact analytical solutions from literature to confirm accuracy, convergence, and effectiveness of the method. There is congruence between the numerical results and the exact solutions to a high order of accuracy. Tables were generated to present the order of accuracy of the method; convergence graphs to verify convergence of the method and error graphs are presented to show the excellent agreement between the results from this study and the known results from literature.
This article addresses transient electromagnetohydrodynamic radiative squeezing flow due to convectively heated electromagnetic actuator. The transport analysis of heat and mass is explored considering the heat generation/ absorption and destructive species homogeneous reaction. Suitable transformations are applied on the mathematical model developed to convert governing partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Spectral local linearization method (SLLM) is employed on the resultant nonlinear coupled ODEs to compute the numerical results. Influence of sundry physical quantities on heat mass transfer of squeezing flow characteristics are determined using graphs and tabular results. SLLM results exhibit that momentum and temperature improved with rise in squeezing and heat source parameters correspondingly. Momentum enhances at lower plate and detracts with rise in modified Hartmann number. For improved heat source parameter, the rate of heat transfer diminishes and is more significant for higher Prandtl number values.This investigation has relevance in disk style magnetic clutches, rolling elements, food processing, bearings, squeezing film pressure sensors, and flow rheostats.

Microorganisms play a vital role in understanding the ecological system. The motions of micororganisms are self‐propelled while the impact of thermophoresis and Brownian motion property of nanoparticle shows more challenges in biotechnological and medical applications. The present problem is based on the understanding of double‐dispensed bioconvection for a Casson nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet. Suction phenomenon is introduced at the surface of the stretching sheet along with the convective boundary condition. The convection and movement of the microorganisms are assisted by an applied magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, and first‐order chemical reaction. The governing equations are highly coupled and thus we used the spectral quasilinearization method to solve the governing equations. The study of the residual errors on the systemic parameters had given a confidence with the present results. The final outcomes are displayed through graphs and tables. The thermal dispersion coefficient shows a positive response in the temperature while a similar response is observed for the concentration with solutal dispersion coefficient. The response is reversible for the heat transfer rate at the surface with thermal dispersion coefficient. The density of the motile microorganism at the surface decreases with increase in the Casson number, thermal dispersion coefficient, and solute dispersion coefficient, while an opposite phenomenon was observed with increase in the density ratio of the motile microorganism.
In this paper, we introduce the multi-variate spectral quasi-linearization method which is an extension of the previously reported bivariate spectral quasi-linearization method. The method is a combination of quasi-linearization techniques and the spectral collocation method to solve three-dimensional partial differential equations. We test its applicability on the (2 + 1) dimensional Burgers’ equations. We apply the spectral collocation method to discretize both space variables as well as the time variable. This results in high accuracy in both space and time. Numerical results are compared with known exact solutions as well as results from other papers to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the method. The results show that the method produces highly accurate solutions and is very efficient for (2 + 1) dimensional PDEs. The efficiency is due to the fact that only few grid points are required to archive high accuracy. The results are portrayed in tables and graphs.
The paper presents a significant improvement to the implementation of the spectral relaxation method (SRM) for solving nonlinear partial differential equations that arise in the modelling of fluid flow problems. Previously the SRM utilized the spectral method to discretize derivatives in space and finite differences to discretize in time. In this work we seek to improve the performance of the SRM by applying the spectral method to discretize derivatives in both space and time variables. The new approach combines the relaxation scheme of the SRM, bivariate Lagrange interpolation as well as the Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The technique is tested on a system of four nonlinear partial differential equations that model unsteady three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic flow and mass transfer in a porous medium. Computed solutions are compared with previously published results obtained using the SRM, the spectral quasilinearization method and the Keller-box method. There is clear evidence that the new approach produces results that as good as, if not better than published results determined using the other methods. The main advantage of the new approach is that it offers better accuracy on coarser grids which significantly improves the computational speed of the method. The technique also leads to faster convergence to the required solution.
