Slip MHD viscous flow over a stretching sheet - An exact solution

In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow under slip condition over a permeable stretching surface is solved analytically. The solution is given in a closed form equation and is an exact solution of the full governing Navier-Stokes equations. The effects of the slip, the magnetic, and the mass transfer parameters are discussed. Results show that there is only one physical solution for any combination of the slip, the magnetic, and the mass transfer parameters. The velocity and shear stress profiles are greatly influenced by these parameters. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
