Spectral-homotopy analysis of MHD non-orthogonal stagnation point flow of a nanofluid

Abstract

Abstract. In this article, we investigate the theoretical study of the magnetohy-drodynamic (MHD) non-orthogonal stagnation point flow of a nanofluid towards a stretching. The partial differential equations that model the problem are reduced to ordinary differential equations which are then solved analytically using the improved Spectral Homotopy Analysis Method (SHAM). Comparisons of our results from SHAM and numerical solutions show that this method is a capable tool for solving this type of linear and nonlinear problems semi-analytically.MSC 2010: 34B15, 34K07, 34K28
