The article solves the motion of a spherical solid particle in plane coquette fluid flow by using the HPM-Padé technique which is a combination of the Homotopy Perturbation method and Padé approximation. The series solutions of the couple equations are developed. Generally, the truncated series solution is adequately in a small region and to overcome this limitation the Padé techniques, which have the advantage in turning the polynomial approximation into a rational function, are applied to the series solution to improve the accuracy and enlarge the convergence domain. The current results compared with those derived from HPM and the established fourth order Runge–Kutta method in order to ascertain the accuracy of the proposed method. It is found that this method can achieve more suitable results in comparison to HPM.

In the heart of all the different engineering sciences, everything shows itself in the mathematical relation that most of these problems and phenomena are modeled by linear and nonlinear equations. Therefore, many different methods have recently introduced some ways to solve these equations. Analytical methods have made a comeback in research methodology after taking a backseat to the numerical techniques for the latter half of the preceding century. One of the analytical methods of recent vintage, namely, the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) which was firstly proposed by Chinese mathematician Ji-Huan He [1–8] has attracted special attention from researchers as it is flexible in applying and gives sufficiently accurate results with modest effort. This method as a powerful series-based analytical tool has been used by many authors [9–14]. But, the convergence region of the obtained truncated series app...
