Abstract

The problem of axisymmetric flow of a third grade fluid over a radially stretching sheet is studied. By means of similarity transformation, the governing non-linear partial differential equations are reduced to a non-linear ordinary differential equation. The ordinary differential equation is analytically solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The solution for the velocity is obtained. The series solution is developed and the convergence of the results is discussed. Finally, the results are discussed with various graphs.
