Abstract

Eyring–Powell fluid MHD Numerical solution Stretching sheet
In the present article, we have examined the two dimensional MHD flow of Eyring–Powell fluid model towards a stretching sheet. The governing equations of Eyring–Powell fluid are modeled and then simplified by using boundary layer approach and similarity transformations and then solved numerically using implicit finite difference method. It was found that the increase in the intensity of the magnetic field as well as Eyring–Powell fluid parameter γ shows resistance to the flow.
