Abstract

We describe a method for the summation of series in powers of several variables and apply it to some problems of fluid dynamics. The summation method generates a sequence of algebraic approximants. The degree of the defining algebraic equations can either be held fixed, or else increased with the number of series coefficients used. Applications to Jeffery-Hamel flows and to porous-channel flows are discussed. In particular, we show how the method may be used to compute structurally unstable pitchfork bifurcations.
