Abstract: Series solution of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and rotating flow over a porous shrinking sheet is obtained by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The viscous fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform applied magnetic field and the induced magnetic field is neglected for small magnetic Reynolds number. Similarity solutions of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations resulting from the momentum equation are obtained. Convergence of the obtained solutions is ensured by the proper choice of auxiliary parameter. Graphs are sketched and discussed for various emerging parameters on the velocity field. The variations of the wall shear stress f″(0) and −g′(0) are also tabulated and analyzed.
