Abstract

This article discusses the generalized three-dimensional channel flow of a Jeffery fluid. The transformation method has been utilized for the reduction of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The solutions of nonlinear systems are presented by employing the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The reported graphical results are analyzed. A comparative study is made with the previous results of viscous fluid.
