Abstract

In the present article, we have studied the two dimensional tangent hyperbolic fluid flow towards a stretching sheet with a magnetic field. Governing equations for the proposed model are modelled and then simplified using boundary layer approach and similarity transformations. Simplified governing equations are then solved numerically with the help of fourth and fifth order Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. Physical features of the involved parameters are presented and discussed.
