Abstract :
In this paper, we have analysed numerically the non-Darcy MHD flow of a Carreau fluid over an exponentially stretching/shrinking sheet in a non- Darcy porous medium. In the mathematical model, using similarity variables, the momentum equation is transformed to non-dimensional ordinary differential equation . And then it is solved numerically using the MATLAB in-built numerical solver bvp4c-programm. A discussion for the effects of the parameters involved on the boundary layer thickness and the magnitude of the velocity and skin friction has been done graphically and numerically using figures and tables.
