Abstract

Considering the combined effects of the magnetic field and viscous dissipation, this paper investigates the problem of two-dimensional incompressible unsteady flow over a horizontal continuous stretching sheet. Due to the strongly nonlinear and various parameters of this problem, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear differential equations through the similarity transformation, and then analytical approximations of solutions are derived by homotopy analysis method. In addition, the effects of physical factors on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are examed and discussed graphically.
