Abstract

This article presents the study of three-dimensional, stagnation flow of a Powell-Eyring fluid towards an off-centered rotating porous disk. A uniform injection or suction is applied through the surface of the disk. The Darcy law of porous disk for Powell-Eyring fluid is also obtained. The governing partial differential equations and their related boundary conditions are converted into ordinary differential equations by using a suitable similarity transformation. The analytical solution, of the system of equations is solved by using homotopy analysis method. The convergence region of the obtained solution is determined and plotted. The effects of rotational parameter, porosity of the medium, the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid and the suction or injection velocity on the velocity distributions is shown by graphical representation.
