Effect of suction on the MHD fluid flow past a non-linearly stretching/shrinking sheet: Dual solutions

Abstract

Abstract This paper investigated the effects of suction for incompressible magnetohydrody-namics (MHD) fluid over a non-linearly stretching/shrinking sheet. A proper similarity trans-formation has been used to reduce the system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations, which was then solved numerically by using the bvp4c function in the MATLAB software. Dual solutions are found for certain values of the suction parameter when the sheet is shrinking. The generated results were presented and discussed in the relevance of the governing parameters.
