Abstract:

The present paper examines the hydromagnetic three-dimensional flow in-duced by a stretched surface. An incompressible material saturates the porous medium. Velocity and thermal slip boundary conditions are considered. Suitable transformations are used to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Series solutions of the resulting systems are constructed. The effects of various pertinent parameters on the axial velocity and temperature distributions are analyzed graphically. The skin friction and the Nusselt number are computed numerically and graphically.

Key words: three-dimensional flow, velocity and thermal slip conditions, porous medium
