This investigation deals with the Falkner-Skan flow of a Maxwell fluid in the presence of nonuniform applied magnetic fi…eld 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.

Homotopy Analysis

This article deals with the analytical study of MHD flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching sheet via homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effect of thermal radiation is included in the energy equation, while velocity and thermal slips are included in the boundary conditions. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. The effects of different parameters on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics are examined. The results obtained were shown to compare well with the numerical results and for some special cases with the published data available in the literature, which are in favorable agreement. Keywords: MHD; Slip flow; Stretching sheet; Thermal radiation; Homotopy analysis method
