Various numerical and analytical methods have been used to investigate the models of real-world phenomena. Namely, real-world models from quantum physics have been investigated by many researchers. This Research Topic aims to promote and exchange new and important theoretical and numerical results to study the dynamics of complex physical systems. In particular, the Research Topic will focus on numerical and analytical methods for nonlinear partial differential equations which have applications for quantum physical systems. Authors are encouraged to introduce their latest original research articles. The Research Topic will cover, but is not limited to, the following themes: - Mathematical methods in physics - Representations of Lie groups in physics - Quantum fields - Advanced numerical methods and techniques for nonlinear partial differential equations - Schrödinger classical and fractional operators - Conservation laws
Since the 1980s, attention has increased in the research of fluid mechanics due to its wide application in industry and phycology. Major advances have occurred in the modeling of key topics such Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, nanoparticles, thermal management, and physiological fluid phenomena in biological systems, which have been published in this Special Issue on symmetry and fluid mechanics for Symmetry. Although, this book is not a formal textbook, it will be useful for university teachers, research students, and industrial researchers and for overcoming the difficulties that occur when considering the nonlinear governing equations. For such types of equations, obtaining an analytic or even a numerical solution is often more difficult. This book addresses this challenging job by outlining the latest techniques. In addition, the findings of the simulation are logically realistic and meet the standard of sufficient scientific value.

Unlike other analytic techniques, the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is independent of small/large physical parameters. Besides, it provides great freedom to choose equation type and solution expression of related linear high-order approximation equations. The HAM provides a simple way to guarantee the convergence of solution series. Such uniqueness differentiates the HAM from all other analytic approximation methods. In addition, the HAM can be applied to solve some challenging problems with high nonlinearity.This book, edited by the pioneer and founder of the HAM, describes the current advances of this powerful analytic approximation method for highly nonlinear problems. Coming from different countries and fields of research, the authors of each chapter are top experts in the HAM and its applications.
