Haar wavelet quasilinearization approach for MHD Falkner–Skan flow over permeable wall via Lie group method

Purpose This paper aims to deal with two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over a permeable wall in the presence of a magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach Using the Lie group approach, the Lie algebra of infinitesimal generators of equivalence transformations is constructed for the equation under consideration. Using these suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations are reduced to linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Further, Haar wavelet approach is applied to the reduced ODE under the subalgebra 4.1 for constructing numerical solutions of the flow problem. Findings A new type of solutions was obtained of the MHD Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow problem using the Haar wavelet quasilinearization approach via Lie symmetric analysis. Originality/value To find a solution for the MHD Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow problem using the Haar wavelet quasilinearization approach via Lie symmetric analysis is a new approach for fluid problems.
