In this paper, a two-dimensional steady flow of a viscous fluid due to a stretching sheet in the presence of a magnetic field is considered. We proposed two new numerical schemes based on the Haar wavelet coupled with a collocation approach and quasi-linearization process for solving the Falkner-Skan equation representing the governing problem. The important derived quantities representing the fluid velocity and wall shear stress for various values of flow parameters Mand βare calculated. The proposed methods enable us to obtain the solutions even for negative β, nonlinear stretching parameter, and smaller values of the magnetic parameter ()M1< which was missing in the earlier findings. Numerical and graphical results obtained show an excellent agreement with the available findings and demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the developed schemes. Another significant advantage of the present method is that it does not depends on small parameters and initial presumptions unlike in traditional semi-analytical and numerical methods.

We present the numerical study of hydromagnetic (MHD) flow and heat transfer characte- ristics of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid in a channel with one wall shrinking and the other at rest in the presence of a transverse applied magnetic field. Different from the classical shooting methodology, we employ a combination of a di- rect and an iterative method (SOR with optimal relaxation parameter) for solving the sparse systems of linear algebraic equations arising from the FD discretization of the linearized self similar nonlinear ODEs. Effects of some physical parameters on the flow and heat transfer are discussed and presented through tables and graphs. The present investigation may be beneficial to the flow and thermal control of polymeric processing.

The problem of a steady two-dimensional flow of a conducting power-law fluid past a flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field under the influence of a pressure gradient by considering viscous dissipation effects is studied. The resulting governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non linear ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformation. The set of non linear ordinary differential equations is first linearized by using the Quasi-linearization technique and then solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The system of algebraic equations is solved by using the Gauss-Seidal iterative method. The energy equation for a special case for which a similarity solution exist is also considered. The effects of the power-law index, magnetic parameter, viscous dissipation and generalized Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles are of special interest. Numerical results are tabulated for the skin friction co-efficient. Velocity and temperature profiles are drawn for different controlling parameters which reveal the tendency of the solution.
