Abstract
A two-dimensional, unsteady flow of a thin layer of ferromagnetic liquid over a stretching sheet is considered. The flow is exposed to an external magnetic field in the direction of the stretching sheet. The boundary layer equations with the associated boundary conditions are transformed into ODEs using suitable similarity transformations. The resultant system of ODEs is numerically solved using the shooting technique by appropriately guessing the initial values and then correcting them by the Newton-Raphson scheme. The effects of the dimensionless parameters on the flow and heat exchange characteristics are graphically analyzed. It is found that the thickness of the film reduces with magnetization and unsteadiness parameters.
