Abstract: In this paper, the 3-D squeezing flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates rotating at the same rate is investigated. The flow is observed under the influence of the varying magnetic field. The flow phenomena are modeled by utilizing the basic governing equations, i.e., equation of continuity, coupled Navier Stokes, and Magnetic Field equations. Using appropriate similarity transformations, the resultant partial differential equations are then transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations. The computational technique is developed via the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to obtain the solution of transformed systems of ordinary differential equations. The influence of several engineering fluid parameters, such as squeeze Reynolds number, magnetic field strength parameter, and magnetic Reynolds number, on velocity and magnetic field components, are observed from different graphs. It has been investigated that by increasing the squeeze Reynolds number, fluid velocity in the y and z directions will be increased as well. On the magnetic field component along the y -axis, an increasing influence of squeezing Reynolds number is also noticed. Similarly, raising the magnetic Reynolds number increases the velocity along the y -axis, whereas the inverse relationship is found for magnetic field components. Furthermore, for each flow phenomenon, an error analysis is also presented.
