This paper aims to report theoretical and numerical results for the problem of laminar axisymmetric flow of hybrid nanofluid over a permeable non-linearly stretching/shrinking sheet with radiation effect.Design/methodology/approachThe numerical solutions of the arising boundary value problem are obtained using the function bvp4c from MATLAB for different values of the governing parameters.FindingsIt is found that the solutions of the ordinary (similarity) differential equations have two branches, upper and lower branch solutions, in a certain range of the stretching/shrinking and suction parameters. To establish which of these solutions are stable and which are not, a stability analysis has been performed.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, present results are original and new for the study of fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking surface, as they successfully extend the problem considered by Mustafa et al. (2015) to the case of hybrid nanofluids.
