Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the boundary value problem resulting from the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow influenced by a shrinking sheet with suction for the cases of two-dimensional (m = 1) and axisymmetric (m = 2) shrinking. The influences of the parameter m as well as the effects of suction parameter s and Hartmann number M2 on similar entrainment velocity f(â) and flow characteristics are studied. To this purpose, the resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equation is solved numerically using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method in combination with a shooting procedure. The obtained results elucidate reliability and efficiency of the technique from which interesting features between the skin friction coefficient fâ³(0) and the entrainment velocity f(â) as function of the mass transfer parameter s can also be obtained.
