This paper discusses the mixed convection three-dimensional boundary layer flow of upper-convected Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) combined with Soret and Dufour effects are also taken into account. The governing problems are first modeled and then solved by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The variations of several parameters of interest on the velocity, concentration, and temperature fields are analyzed by the presentation of graphs. Several known results have been pointed out as the particular cases of the present analysis.

In this article, we have investigated thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady flow of electrically conducting Eyring-Powell fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet by using convective boundary conditions. A set of appropriate variables are used to reduce number of independent variables in governing equations. Series solution is computed using homotopy analysis method. The effects of various parameters of interest on the velocity filed, temperature profile, concentration profile, skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are illustrated graphically and discussed in detail.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid with Newtonian heating. Design/methodology/approach – Series solutions are found by homotopy analysis method. Findings – Temperature profile increases with an increase in conjugate parameter. Increase in parameter β and Prandtl number Pr decreases the temperature profile. Originality/value – This work does not currently exist in the literature.

Unsteady flow of a third grade fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects is considered. Employing similarity transformations, the governing equation for the velocity, concentration, and temperature fields is presented. The computations for the corresponding problems are performed by using a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The associated behavior of the flow parameters is discussed and important conclusions have been pointed out.

A numerical solution has been obtained for the unsteady three-dimensional stretching flow and heat transfer due to uncertainties of thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of nanofluids. The term of nanofluid refers to a solid–liquid mixture with a continuous phase which is a nanometer sized nanoparticle dispersed in conventional base fluids. The unsteadiness in the flow and temperature fields is caused by the time-dependent of the stretching velocity and the surface temperature.  Different water-based nanofluids containing Cu, Ag, and TiO2 are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations with the auxiliary conditions are converted to ordinary differential equations with the appropriate corresponding conditions via scaling transformations. Comparison with known results for steady state flow is presented and it found to be in excellent agreement.

This work concerns with the radiation effects on rotating boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting incompressible fluid over a nonlinear stretching surface. The viscous fluid fills the porous space. The flow is permeated by a constant magnetic field applied in the transverse direction. Two types of temperatures are prescribed to the surface. The resulting problems of velocity and temperature are obtained using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Convergence of the developed series solutions is carefully checked. Graphical results of the velocity and temperature fields for various values of the parameters of the problems are presented and discussed.

An analysis has been carried out for the heat transfer on steady boundary layer flow of a secondgrade fluid bounded by a stretching sheet. The magnetohydrodynamic nature of the fluid is considered in the presence of Hall and ion-slip currents. The nonlinear mathematical problem is computed by a powerful tool, namely, the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study between the present and existing limiting results is carefully made. Convergence regarding the obtained solution is discussed. Skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are analyzed. Effects of embedded parameters on the dimensionless velocities and temperature are examined

This paper discusses the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a porous channel. Both suction and injection (blowing) cases are considered. Appropriate similarity transformations are invoked to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary ones. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the presentation of analytic solution of the nonlinear differential system. Graphical results provide the salient features of the embedded flow parameters which include the Reynolds number, the Deborah numbers, and the Hartman number. Comparison between the existing numerical solution in a Maxwell fluid and present deduced series solution in a limiting sense is excellent.
