On a perturbation treatment of a model for MHD viscous flow

Abstract

We discuss the solution of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation that appears in a model for MHD viscous flow caused by a shrinking sheet. We propose an accurate numerical solution and derive simple analytical expressions. Our results suggest that a recent perturbation treatment of the same problem exhibits a pathological behaviour and conjecture its probable cause.
