Abstract
In this article magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of an incompressible upper convected Maxwell fluid has been studied.The governing equations has been transform to nonlinear Ordinary differential equation (ODE) by using similarity trabsformation. The mathematical theory of Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is presented and the results obtained by this method is compared with numerical results showing its accuracy. The effect of Hartman and Deborah numbers has been discussed.
