An efficient computational approach for hydromagnetic stagnation flow towards a stretching sheet. (English) Zbl 1276.76093

Summary: The present paper focus on the hydromagnetic stagnation flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid towards a stretching sheet in the presence of axially increasing free stream velocity. The Homotopy analysis method (HAM) along with Laplace decomposition method (LDM) is employed to solve the third order nonlinear boundary layer problem. The new proposed method is coupled with Padé approximation for an efficient numerical treatment of the under study problem. The study shows that series solution is obtained without restrictions on the nonlinear behavior. The solution is compared with other available results in literature and a good agreement is found.
