摘要：Motivated from numerous practical applications, the present theoretical and numerical work investigates the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) laminar boundary layer flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid over a porous stretching sheet in the presence of suction/injection (mass transpiration). The flow characteristics are obtained by solving the underlying highly nonlinear ordinary differential equation using homotopy analysis method. The effect of parameters corresponding to suction/injection (mass transpiration), applied magnetic field, and porous stretching sheet parameters on the nonlinear flow is investigated. The asymptotic limits of the parameters regarding the flow characteristics are obtained mathematically, which compare very well with those obtained using the homotopy analysis technique. A detailed numerical study of the laminar boundary layer flow in the vicinity of the porous stretching sheet in MHD and offers a particular choice of the parametric values to be taken in order to practically model a particular type of the event among suction and injection at the sheet surface.
