Analytical Solution for MHD Flow of Unsteady Second Grade Fluid Arising in Wire Coating Analysis
The objective of this study is to present the analytical solution for the problem of magneto-hydrodynamic unsteady second grade fluid for wire coating in a cylindrical type coating die. To do so, we employ the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) to solve the governing nonlinear equation (in dimensionless form). A parametric study is performed in order to illustrate the interactive influences of the model parameters; namely, the magnetic parameter, non-Newtonian parameter of the second grade fluid, and radii ratio. The velocity field is investigated for several sets of values of these parameters. Additionally, the results are also verified by Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) and good agreement is found. Additionally, the results are validated with previously published pertinent literature as a limiting case of the problem.
