We present a purely analytic solution to the steady three-dimensional viscous stagnation point flow of second grade fluid over a heated flat plate moving with some constant speed. The analytic solution is obtained by a newly developed analytic technique, namely, homotopy analysis method. By giving a comparison with the existing results, it is shown that the obtained analytic solutions are highly accurate and are in good agreement with the results already present in literature. Also, the present analytic solution is uniformly valid for all values of the dimensionless second grade parameter α. The effects of α and the Prandtl number Pr on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed through graphs.

Main Flow Direction

This work explores the three-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible second-grade fluid between two parallel infinite plates. The assumed suction velocity comprises a basic steady dispersal with a superimposed weak transversally fluctuating distribution. Because of variation of suction velocity in transverse direction on the wall, the problem turns out to be three-dimensional. Analytic solutions for velocity field, pressure and skin friction are presented and effects of dimensionless parameters emerging in the model are discussed. It is observed that the non-Newtonian parameter plays dynamic part to rheostat the velocity component along main flow direction.

An analysis has been carried out for the heat transfer on steady boundary layer flow of a secondgrade fluid bounded by a stretching sheet. The magnetohydrodynamic nature of the fluid is considered in the presence of Hall and ion-slip currents. The nonlinear mathematical problem is computed by a powerful tool, namely, the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study between the present and existing limiting results is carefully made. Convergence regarding the obtained solution is discussed. Skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are analyzed. Effects of embedded parameters on the dimensionless velocities and temperature are examined

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the heat and mass transfer with Soret-Dufour effects for the magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow of second grade fluid in the rotating frame of reference. Design/methodology/approach – Series solution is obtained by homotopy analysis method. Findings – Increase in Soret number, Schmidt number and Dufour number, the heat transfer increases and mass transfer decreases. Effects of Prandtl and Eckert numbers are qualitatively similar as they assist the temperature profile and reduce the concentration of species. Increase in the length of the channel versus height increases the temperature profile but decreases the concentration field. Increase in the second grade fluid parameter causes reduction in both the temperature and concentration fields. The heat flux values at the lower plate are smaller than the values at the upper plate, whereas the situation is opposite in the case of mass transfer. Originality/value – These findings will be useful for the fluid flow in porous channel.

ABSTRACTThe problem of magnetohydrodyanmic stagnation point flow and heat transfer of second grade fluid past a radially stretching sheet is investigated. The flow problems are examined in the presence of Newtonian heating and Soret and Dufour effects. The relevant mathematical problems are developed through equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration. The reduced differential equations are solved for the convergent series solutions. In order to validate the homotopy analysis method (HAM), a comparative study between the present and previous results is made. It is observed that Dufour and Soret effects on temperature and concentration distributions are different. Qualitatively, the influence of Prandtl number on temperature and Schmidt number on concentration is similar. It is further noted that the diffusion of solute in second grade fluid is increasing function of Soret number whereas it decreases when Dufour number increases.
