Abstract: In this article, a realistic three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid is studied after developing a convergent analytic scheme. Soret and Dufour effects with mixed convection are taken into account. The governing highly non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into the system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting problems are computed by homotopy analysis method (HAM). Profiles of dimensionless velocities, temperature and concentration are plotted and discussed for various emerging physical parameters. Numerical values of physical quantities of interest such as local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are tabulated. A comparative study with existing literature are found in an excellent agreement.
