This phenomenon is governed by a nonlinear second-order differential equation. The degree of nonlinearity is determined by a nondimensional parameter α. We present two semi-analytic algorithms to solve the EHD flow equation for various values of relevant parameters based on optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) and optimal homotopy analysis method. In 1999, Paullet has shown that for large α, the solutions are qualitatively different from those calculated by Mckee in 1997. Both of our solutions obtained by OHAM and optimal homotopy analysis method are qualitatively similar with Paullet’s solutions.
