Abstract

This work is concerned with the influence of uniform suction or injection on flow and heat transfer analysis of a second order fluid. The resulting nonlinear problem for velocity is solved by means of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The comparison between the numerical solution of Hady and Gorla (Acta Mec 128 (1998), 201-208 and HAM solution is discussed with the help of numerical tables and graphs. Nonsimilar solutions to the stream function and temperature are developed. The influence of important parameters is seen on the velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and temperature gradient.
