NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF HYDROMAGNETIC BOUNDARY-LAYER FLOW OF A NON-NEWTONIAN POWER-LAW FLUID PAST A CONTINUOUSLY MOVING SURFACE BY SPLINE COLLOCATION
We study numerically the hydromagnetic boundary-layer flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid past a continuously moving surface. With the help of similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations are reduced to an ordinary differential equation. The resulting ordinary differential equation is solved using quartic spline collocation method. The numerical solutions are obtained in the form of velocity profile and skin friction for various values of parameters.
