Abstract
The present research is concerned with the time-dependent three-dimensional flow of an incompressible Maxwell fluid. The induced flow is due to a stretched sheet. Similarity transformations have been employed for the presentation of the differential systems. The series solutions have been computed by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). Graphical results are shown in order to predict the features of the involved key parameters into the problems. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
