Falkner-Skan Flow of a Maxwell Fluid with Heat Transfer and Magnetic Field

Abstract EN

This investigation deals with the Falkner-Skan flow of a Maxwell fluid in the presence of nonuniform applied magnetic field with heat transfer.

Governing problems of flow and heat transfer are solved analytically by employing the homotopy analysis method (HAM).

Effects of the involved parameters, namely, the Deborah number, Hartman number, and the Prandtl number, are examined carefully.

A comparative study is made with the known numerical solution in a limiting sense and an excellent agreement is noted.
