| Abstract: | This study is presented for the flow of an Oldroyd‐B fluid subject to convective boundary conditions. The two‐dimensional equations are simplified by using boundary layer approximations. The analytic solutions in the whole spatial domain (0 ≤ η < ∞) are derived by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). Interpretation of various emerging parameters is assigned through graphs for velocity and temperature distributions and tables for surface heat transfer. The present results are compared with the previous studies in limiting cases and results are found in very good agreement. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
