Simple non-perturbative solution for MHD viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet is examined analytically. The series solution is obtained using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) coupled with Padé approximants to handle the condition at infinity. The numerical solutions agree very well with the results by t...

Description
Summary:The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet is examined analytically. The series solution is obtained using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) coupled with Padé approximants to handle the condition at infinity. The numerical solutions agree very well with the results by the homotopy analysis method.
