To record the effect of Lorentz forces, a magnetic field is applied normally with the assumption that the induced magnetic field is negligible.Design/methodology/approachBoundary layer approximation is used to convert governing equations into ordinary differential equations along with appropriate boundary conditions. To obtain the results, used homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been used as an analytical technique and to validate the obtained results a famous numerical Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method is also exploited. It has been observed that the results obtained through both of the methods are in excellent agreement with exact solution.FindingsThe Hartmann number is used as controlling parameter for velocity and temperature profile.
