As a novelty, explicit analytical solutions were obtained for the considered complex problem. First, the Navier\u2013Stokes equations were simplified by means of similarity transformations that depended on different parameters and some combinations of these parameters, and the problem under study was reduced to six nonlinear ordinary differential equations with six unknowns. The OAFM proves to be a powerful tool for finding an accurate analytical solution for nonlinear problems, ensuring a fast convergence after the first iteration, even if the small or large parameters are absent, since the determination of the convergence-control parameters is independent of the magnitude of the coefficients that appear in the nonlinear differential equations. Concerning the main novelties of the proposed approach, it is worth mentioning the presence of some auxiliary functions, the involvement of the convergence-control parameters, the construction of the first iteration and much freedom to select the procedure for determining the optimal values of the convergence-control parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12081335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]],"date-time":"2020-08-10T09:04:16Z","timestamp":1597050256000},"page":"1335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Construction of Analytic Solution to Axisymmetric Flow and Heat Transfer on a Moving Cylinder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Vasile","family":"Marinca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Fundamental Technical Research, Romanian Academy, 300222 Timisoara, Romania"}]},{"given":"Nicolae","family":"Herisanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Fundamental Technical Research, Romanian Academy, 300222 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Mechanics, University Politehnica Timisoara, 300222 Timisoara, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00388017","article-title":"The final approach to steady state in an axisymmetric stagnation flow following a change in free stream velocity","volume":"40","author":"Gorla","year":"1983","journal-title":"Appl.
