Radiation and melting effects on MHD boundary layer flow over a moving surface

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of MHD flow and heat transfer from a warm, electrically conducting fluid to melting surface moving parallel to a constant free stream in the presence of thermal radiation. The similarity transformation technique is used to convert the governing partial differential equations into the self-similar ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using MATLAB BVP solver bvp4c. Numerical results for the dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles as well as for the skin friction and the Nusselt number are elucidated for different values of the pertinent parameters. Comparison with previously published work is presented and it found to be in excellent agreement.
