Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this work is to analytically examine the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Falkner‐Skan flow.
Design/methodology/approach
The series solution is obtained using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) coupled with Padé approximants.
Findings
Comparison of the present solutions is made with the results obtained by other applied methods and excellent agreement is noted.
