Numerical Solutions of MHD Viscous Flow of Newtonian Fluids due to a Shrinking Sheet by SOR Iterative Procedure

Abstract

The problem of Magneto Hydrodynamic viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet of Newtonian fluids has been solved numerically by using SOR Iterative Procedure. The similarity transformations have been used to reduce the highly nonlinear partial differential equations of motion to ordinary differential equations. The results have been calculated on three different grid sizes to check the accuracy of the results. The numerical results for Newtonian fluids are found in good agreement with those obtained by the previous results.
