Abstract:
This article reports the homotopy solution for stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian fluid.An incompressible second grade fluid impinges on the wall either orthogonally or obliquely.The resulting nonlinear problems have been solved by a homotopy analysis method(HAM).Convergence of the series solutions is checked.Such solutions are compared with the numerical solutions presented in a study Int.J.Non-Linear Mech.43(2008) 941].Excellent agreement is noted between the numerical and series solutions.
