We examined the thin-film flow problem of a third-grade fluid on an inclined plane under a fuzzy environment. The highly nonlinear flow governing differential equations (DEs) with the boundary conditions are fuzzified using the triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) developed by α -cut α ∈ 0,1 . The fuzzy perturbation (FPM) method is adopted to calculate the fuzzified form of the governing equations as well as the fuzzified boundary conditions. For the validation, the present work is in good agreement as compared to existing work in the literature under the crisp form. For various values of the fluid parameter λ , inclined parameter γ and fuzzy parameter α -cut is presented in graphical form. The α -cut controls TFNs, and the variability of uncertainty is investigated using a triangular membership function (MF). Using TFNs, the middle (crisp), left, and right values of the fuzzy velocity profile are used for fuzzy linear regression analysis. The outcome of this study and the fuzzy velocity profile have the maximum rate of flow as compared to the crisp velocity profile (mid values). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In an uncertain atmosphere, the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow in three principal flows of the third grade fluid across two parallel plates is presented. Fuzzy differential equations are constructed by manipulating dimensionless differential equations. The prime purpose of the current article is to use a semi-analytical approach fuzzy-based Adomian decomposition method to achieve numerical results for nonlinear FDEs with fuzzy boundary conditions. Triangular fuzzy numbers are used in fuzzy BCs with help of α -cut approach. This strategy is linked to the membership function. In a graphic and tabular depiction, the effect of α and other constraints on fuzzy velocity profiles is explored. The current findings are in good agreement with their previous numerical and analytical results in a crisp environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, fundamental flow problems, namely, Couette flow, fully developed plane Poiseuille flow, and plane Couette–Poiseuille flow of a third-grade non-Newtonian fluid between two horizontal parallel plates separated by a finite distance in a fuzzy environment are considered. The governing nonlinear differential equations (DEs) are converted into fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) and explain our approach with the help of the membership function (MF) of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is used to solve fundamental flow problems based on FDEs. In a crisp environment, the current findings are in good accord with their previous numerical and analytical results. Finally, the effect of the α -cut α ∈ 0,1 and other engineering constants on fuzzy velocity profile are invested in graphically and tabular forms. Also, the variability of the uncertainty is studied through the triangular MF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
