Abstract
The solution for the flow of a third grade fluid bounded by two parallel porous plates is given using homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparison is made with the exact numerical solution for the various values of the physical parameters. It is found that a proper choice of the auxiliary parameter occurring in HAM solution gives very close results.
