Three-dimensional flow of a Jeffery fluid over a linearly stretching sheet

This investigation reports the three-dimensional flow of Jeffrey fluid over a linearly stretching surface. Transformation method has been utilized for the reduction of partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. The solutions of the nonlinear systems are presented by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The reported graphical results are analyzed. A comparative study with the previous results of viscous fluid in the literature is made.

► Huge applications of stretching in engineering and industry. ► Three-dimensional flow problems have not been discussed much. ► Jeffery fluid model has a different rheology as compared to viscous fluid. ► Previous published results can be obtained from this study.
