Mixed convective stagnation point flow of Carreau fluid with variable properties

Here, our aim is to address the mixed convective stagnation point flow of Carreau liquid over a moving permeable surface. Constitutive expression of an incompressible Carreau liquid is taken into account. The assumptions of boundary layer are implemented in the mathematical modeling of considered physical phenomenon. A well-known analytical technique homotopy analysis method is employed for the computations of governing equations. The numerical data of skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number is obtained and explored. The velocity is enhanced for larger ratio of rate constants. The increasing values of suction parameter correspond to less velocity and temperature profiles. Further, a benchmark is presented to validate the solutions obtained here. It is noted that the computed analytical solutions have excellent match with previous published materials in a limiting manner.
