| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the mathematical model of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fluid flow in a circular cylindrical conduit with an ion drag configuration. The phenomenon was modelled as a nonlinear differential equation. Furthermore, an application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) with a generalized normal distribution optimization algorithm (GNDO) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) were utilized to suggest approximate solutions for the velocity, displacements, and acceleration profiles of the fluid by varying the Hartmann electric number (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>H</mi><msup><mi>a</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) and the strength of nonlinearity (α). ANNs were used to model the fitness function for the governing equation in terms of mean square error (MSE), which was further optimized initially by GNDO to exploit the global search. Then SQP was implemented to complement its local convergence. Numerical solutions obtained by the design scheme were compared with RK-4, the least square method (LSM), and the orthonormal Bernstein collocation method (OBCM). Stability, convergence, and robustness of the proposed algorithm were endorsed by the statistics and analysis on results of absolute errors, mean absolute deviation (MAD), Theil’s inequality coefficient (TIC), and error in Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (ENSE). |
