Abstract
Boundary layer equations are derived for the first time for a Williamson fluid. Using Lie group theory, a symmetry analysis of the equations is performed. The partial differential system is transferred to an ordinary differential system via symmetries, and the resulting equations are numerically solved. Finally, the effects of the non-Newtonian parameters on the solutions are discussed.
