Abstract
An analysis has been carried out for the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection flow of thixotropic fluid over a moving surface. Heat transfer is considered in the presence of thermophoresis, Joule heating, and radiative effects. Similarity transformations are used for the reduction of partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. A dimensionless nonlinear problem is computed with the homotopy analysis method. Convergence analysis of homotopic solutions is ensured graphically and numerically. Graphical results are displayed and analyzed. Numerical values of wall shear stress and heat transfer rate are computed and discussed. Comparison with the previous results in a limiting case is made and excellent agreement is noticed.
