Approximate solution of the magneto-hydrodynamic flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/3/035201

Abstract The approximate solution of the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet is obtained by combining the Lie symmetry method with the homotopy perturbation method. The approximate solution is tabulated, plotted for the values of various parameters and compared with the known solutions. It is found that the approximate solution agrees very well with the known numerical solutions, showing the reliability and validity of the present work.
