Time-dependent three-dimensional flow and mass transfer of elastico-viscous fluid over unsteady stretching sheet (Q2429808)

This article studies the unsteady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and mass transfer characteristics of an elastico-viscous fluid over a stretching surface. The velocity of the stretching sheet is assumed to be time-dependent; the authors also consider the effect of mass transfer with higher-order chemical reactions. Analytic solutions for the momentum and mass transfer are obtained by the homotopy analysis method. The convergence of the obtained series solutions is analyzed explicitly. Finally, the authors perform a detailed parametric analysis.
