Laguerre reproducing kernel method in Hilbert spaces for unsteady stagnation point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet

Abstract

This paper investigates the nonlinear boundary value problem resulting from the exact reduction of the Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow over the stretching/shrinking permeable sheet submerged in a moving fluid. To solve this equation, a numerical method is proposed based on a Laguerre functions with reproducing kernel Hilbert space method. Using the operational matrices of derivative, we reduced the problem to a set of algebraic equations. We also compare this work with some other numerical results and present a solution that proves to be highly accurate.
