An MHD Navier’s Slip Flow Over Axisymmetric Linear Stretching Sheet Using Differential Transform Method

The magnetohydrodynamics boundary layer flows with Naviers’ slip condition are mathematically modelled into highly nonlinear partial differential equations which are then transformed into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The similarity solutions are obtained and are analysed means of differential transform method and with an application of Pade approximants to the highly nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The effects of suction/injection, magnetic field, slip and other parameters on the flow for two-dimensional and axisymmetric stretching are evaluated in relation to existing studies. The present study has potential application to magnetic nano fluids in wound medicines, skin repair and specialised coatings for devices such as audio/video diskettes and optical fibre filters.
