Abstract
In this work, we have carried out the influence of temperature dependent viscosity on thin film flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) third grade fluid past a vertical belt. The governing coupled non-linear differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions are solved analytically by using Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). In order to make comparison, the governing problem has also been solved by using Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM). The physical characteristics of the problem have been well discussed in graphs for several parameter of interest.
Highlights
The subject of non-Newtonian fluids is popular and is an area of active research specially in mathematics, industry and engineering problems
Third grade fluid is one of the important fluid in this category and its equation is based on strong theoretical foundations, where relation between stress and strain is not linear
Miladinova et al [21] investigated thin film flow of a power law liquid falling from an inclined plate where it was observed that saturation of non-linear interaction occur in a permanent finite amplitude wave
Summary
The subject of non-Newtonian fluids is popular and is an area of active research specially in mathematics, industry and engineering problems. Examples of non-Newtonian fluids include plastic manufacturing, performance of lubricants, food processing, movement of biological fluids, wire and fiber coating, paper production, transpiration cooling, gaseous diffusion, drilling mud, heat pipes etc. These fluids are described by a non-linear relationship between stress and the rate of deformation tensors and several models have been proposed. Considerable efforts have been made to study non-Newtonian fluids for various geometrical configurations via analytical techniques. Miladinova et al [21] investigated thin film flow of a power law liquid falling from an inclined plate where it was observed that saturation of non-linear interaction occur in a permanent finite amplitude wave
