| Abstract: | An analytical technique known as the homotopy analysis method is used to acquire solutions for magnetohydrodynamic 3‐D motion of a viscous nanofluid over a saturated porous medium with a heat source and thermal radiation. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to ordinary differential equations employing appropriate transformations. Validation of the present result is done with the help of error analysis for flow and temperature. The influences of pertinent parameters on momentum, energy, and Nusselt number are studied and discussed. The major findings are: the velocity of the nanofluid is affected by the nanoparticle volume fraction and the thickness of the thermal boundary layer becomes thinner and thinner subject to sink, whereas the effect is revered in case of the source. |
