Abstract

The problem of an uncompressible power-law fluid has long been the challenge in semi-solid forming area. In this paper, the flow of a power-law fluid film on an unsteady stretching surface is analyzed by the means of Boubaker Polynomials Expansion Scheme (BPES). Analytic solutions were given and compared with the numerical results for some real power-law index and the unsteadiness parameter in wide ranges. The good agreement between them showed BPES could be used effectively to solve the flow of nonlinear power-law fluid in semi-solid state.
