SCATTERING OF A THIN LAYER OVER A NONLINEAR RADIALLY EXTENDING SURFACE WITH MAGNETO HYDRODYNAMIC AND THERMAL DISSIPATION
The recent research is allied with the analysis of a thin layer, spreading over the nonlinear surface of a radially extended sheet. The temperature field has been taken with the accumulation of dissipation term. The similarity variables have been used to transform the basic flow equations into a set of nonlinear differential equations. The thickness of the spreading phenomenon has been taken as a variable. The approximate outcomes of the problem have been achieved using the optimal approach of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the HAM has been computed with numerical method. The impact of the variable thickness parameter [Formula: see text], generalized magnetic parameter [Formula: see text], Eckert number [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on the spreading pattern and temperature field has been calculated and discussed. The attention has been paid to the important physical quantities of interest like the skin friction and Nusselt number under the effect of various embedded parameters.
