โœฆ Synopsis

The homotopy analysis method is applied to study the boundary layer flow over a flat plate which has a constant velocity opposite in direction to that of the uniform mainstream. The dual solutions in series expressions are obtained with the proposed technique, which agree well with numerical results. Note that, by introducing a new auxiliary function b(z), the bifurcation of the solutions is obtained. This indicates that the homtopy analysis method is a open system, in the framework of this technique, we have great freedom to choose the auxiliary parameters or functions. As a result, complicated nonlinear problems may be resolved in a simple way. The present work shows that the homotopy analysis method is an effective tool for solving nonlinear problems with multiple solutions.

In this paper, we present the idea of nonclassical similarity transformation, which takes into account the effect of the parameter A on the boundary layer thickness, where A is the ratio of wall velocity to the free stream velocity. The transformation is applied to the fluid flow over a moving flat

## Abstract This paper discusses the unsteady flow and heat transfer of a Casson fluid over a moving flat plate with a parallel free stream. The analytic solutions of the system of nonlinear partial differential equations valid for all times in the whole spatial domain are constructed in the series

In this paper, the unsteady boundary-layer flows caused by an impulsively stretching flat plate is solved by means of an analytic approach. Unlike perturbation techniques, this approach gives accurate analytic approximations uniformly valid for all dimensionless time. Besides, a simple but accurate
