In this article, we provide an analytic solution for the problem of unsteady axisymmetric flow of a second-grade fluid over a radially stretching sheet. The governing equations are first modeled and then converted into a non-linear partial differential equation by utilizing similarity transformation

โฆ Synopsis
This paper deals with the unsteady axisymmetric flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid over a radially stretching sheet. The heat is prescribed at the surface. The modelled non-linear partial differential equations are solved using an analytic approach namely the homotopy analysis method. Unlike perturbation technique, this approach gives accurate analytic approximation uniformly valid for all dimensionless time. The explicit expressions for velocity, temperature and skin friction coefficient are developed. The influence of time on the velocity, temperature and skin friction coefficient is discussed.
