Non-similar series solution for boundary layer flow of a third-order fluid over a stretching sheet

摘要

This study deals with the boundary layer flow of a third-order fluid induced by a stretching sheet. By means of similarity transformation, the governing non-linear partial differential equation is reduced to a non-linear ordinary differential equation. The analytical solution of the problem is obtained using homotopy analysis method (HAM). Finally, the solutions are also compared with the existing results in the literature.
