Abstract

The current study examines the boundary layer stagnation point flow of third-grade fluid toward a stretching surface with variable thickness. Electrically conducting fluid in the flow is addressed. The resulting equation by suitable transformation yields nonlinear problem which is solved for the convergent solutions. Convergence region is particularly determined for the obtained solutions. Variables highlights for velocity are shown and examined with the help of different graphs. Numerical values of the drag force (skin friction coefficient) are also presented in the tabular form. From given results, it is found that velocity field overshoots for larger values of material parameters of third-grade fluid.
