Abstract:
The unsteady squeezing flow of Casson fluid between parallel plates is re-investigated. The problem admits similarity transformations, there by reducing the equations to a non-linear differential equation of order four involving the parameter \(S\) is the non-dimensional squeezing number. The proposed homotopy perturbation method along with pade approximants is convenient in obtaining the solution. The series so generated yields expressions for skin friction and velocity.
