Magnetohydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow of Power-Law Fluids near a Suddenly Accelerated Flat Plate

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow near a flat plate suddenly set in motion has been studied for a particular class of non-Newtonian power-law fluids. Two different groups of transformations, namely linear group of transformation and a spiral group of transformation are used to derive similarity solutions of the present flow equations. The similarity solution is found in most general form. It is observed that controlled equations are in agreement to those standard equations found in literature.
