Abstract

 

In this article, the non-linear equation of unsteady flow of Powell-Eyring fluid is solved by using Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). The fluid is assumed to be flowing under the effect of magnetic field. The model is developed for the case of constant accelerated plate. Sensitivity analysis is performed to show the effects of material parameters on the velocity profile and shear stress at the wall. The results confirmed the suitability of ADM in solving nonlinear equations.
