Abstract

The present study addresses the three-dimensional flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid over a stretching surface with convective boundary conditions. The problem formulation is presented using the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy. The solutions to the dimensionless problems are computed. The convergence of series solutions by the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is discussed graphically and numerically. The graphs
are plotted for various parameters of the temperature profile. The series solutions are verified by providing a comparison in a limiting case. The numerical values of the local Nusselt number are analyzed.
