Abstract
The group-theorytic approach is applied for solving the problem of the unsteady MHD mixed convective flow past on a moving curved surface. The application of two-parameter groups reduces the number of independent variables by two, and consequently the system of governing partial differential equations with boundary conditions reduces to a system of ordinary differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions. The obtained ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the shooting method. The effects of varying parameters governing the problem are studied. A comparison with previous work is presented.
Highlights
Applications of group-theory in fluid mechanics and boundary layer flow have received much attention by many researchers as the concepts of group theory are extensively used in similarity and non-similarity related problems
The transformation group theory approach is applied to present an analysis of the similarity problem of Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow past on a moving curved surface with suction
There has been great interest in the study of Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) flow due to the effect of magnetic fields on the boundary layer flow control and on the performance of many systems using electrically conducting fields. This type of flow has attracted the interest of many researchers due to its applications in many engineering problems such as MHD generators, plasma studies, nuclear reactors, geothermal energy extraction etc

This flow regime is concerned with circumstances where in both the natural and forced mechanisms of the flow must be considered simultaneously.
