Abstract
In the present study, we have described the stagnation point flow ora viscous fluid towards a stretching sheet. The complete analytical solution of the boundary layer equation has been obtained by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The solutions are compared with the available numerical results obtained by Nazar et al [Nazar R, Amin N. Filip D, Pop I. Unsteady boundary layer flow in the region of the stagnation point on a stretching sheet Int J Eng Sci 2004;42:1241-53] and a good agreement is found. The convergence region is also computed which shows the validity of the HAM solution. (C) 2009 Elsevier B V. All rights reserved
