Abstract

Conduction Convergence Cylinders Fluid dynamics Fluid flow Fluids Mathematical analysis Thin films
This article investigates the thin film flow of an Oldroyd-8 constant fluid through a porous medium. The fluid considered here is electrically conducting, and a constant pressure gradient is applied for the flow phenomena. The governing nonlinear problem has been solved analytically by the homotopy analysis method. The graphical results are presented to gauge the effects of certain physical parameters and to show the convergence of the results.
