Satish V Desale, V.H.Pradhan

Abstract: The problem of the MHD boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet is discussed. Using similarity transformation governing equations are transformed in to nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The Implicit finite difference Keller box method is applied to find the numerical solution of nonlinear differential equation. Graphical results of fluid velocity have been presented and discussed for the related parameters.

Keywords: MHD, boundary layer, nonlinear differential equations, and Keller box method
