Abstract
We present a purely analytic solution to the steady three-dimensional viscous stagnation point flow of second grade fluid over a heated flat plate moving with some constant speed. The analytic solution is obtained by a newly developed analytic technique, namely, homotopy analysis method. By giving a comparison with the existing results, it is shown that the obtained analytic solutions are highly accurate and are in good agreement with the results already present in literature. Also, the present analytic solution is uniformly valid for all values of the dimensionless second grade parameter α. The effects of α and the Prandtl number Pr on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed through graphs.
