Abstract
This article addresses the mixed-convection flow of a thixotropic fluid over a linearly stretching surface. Thermal stratified effects are taken into account in the presence of thermal radiation. Governing partial differential equations are first reduced into the ordinary differential equations and then solved for the homotopic solutions. Graphs to the obtained expressions are sketched for different parameters. Numerical values of skin-friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are computed with and without thermal stratified effects in viscous and non-Newtonian fluids.
