The effect of the transverse magnetic field on the thin film flow of pseudo-plastic fluid forlifting and drainage on a vertical (wall) surface is investigated. Approximate solutions areobtained analytically and numerically for the resulting non-linear and inhomogeneousordinary differential equations arising from the constitutive equation of the pseudo-plasticfluid. Physical quantities such as the velocity profile, volume flux, average velocity, shearstress, vorticity and the force exerted by fluid on the belt surface respectively for lift anddrainage are calculated. The condition for the net upward flow for lift case has also beeninvestigated. The effect of different parameters such as the magnetic effect M2, the non-Newtonian parameter b, the Stokes number St on velocity profiles and shear stress are pre-sented via graphs. The analysis for the analytical solution is carried out for small value of b.The analogy of the velocity profiles of MHD pseudo-plastic and MHD Newtonian fluidsreveals that the MHD pseudo-plastic fluid drains down the upward moving belt faster thanthe MHD Newtonian fluid whereas in drainage, the behavior of the velocity profiles is viceversa. In other words, the applied magnetic field generally reduces the flow velocity in thelifting case, while, in the drainage case, the magnetic field and the velocity field are shownto have a direct relation.

1. Introduction
In view of the importance of drainage phenomena, the necessary understanding of its physics is described: when a fluid isdisposed to a vertical rigid object, it adheres to it and drains down the object under the conditions such that the gravitationaland viscous forces dominate the inertial forces due to which fluid film formed in contact with free surface drain down underthe action of gravity only. This type of drainage is termed ‘‘free drainage’’ [1] and it consists of an extent of fluid bounded byan object and with a free surface (usually air). The thickness d is much shorter than the length of the object so that the flowtakes place in the longer dimensions under the action of gravity. The flow velocity perpendicular to the plate is much smallerthan the main flow velocity. Hence, we can consider it as one dimensional flow. Drainage is abundant in nature i.e. themotion of rain drop down a window pane, in eye the tear films, flow of water on stalactites hanging from the roof of alimestone cave, the acclivity of buoyant magma below the solid rocks, the spreading of lava on volcanoes and found many

applications in industry i.e. tertiary oil recovery, fabrication of microchip and in many coating processes [1,2,4]. Jeffreys [3]was the first who investigated the drainage of Newtonian fluid by assuming the whole process as a simple balance betweenviscous and gravitational forces i.e. by neglecting the accelerating term. His reported thickness was valid only for large valuesof time. In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in understanding the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids as theyare used in many engineering processes. Also, non-Newtonian fluids are intensively studied by mathematicians, essentiallyfrom the point of view of differential equations theory. Common examples of such fluids are slurries, pastes, gels, moltenplastics and lubricants containing polymer additives. Various food stuffs such as honey and tomato sauce, the biological flu-ids like blood and synovial fluid naturally found in cavities of synovial joints also belong to the general class of the non-Newtonian fluids [5]. The simplest model of non-Newtonian fluids is the power law model and a special case of the powerlaw equation, with n < 1, is the pseudo plastic model. Commonly encountered non-Newtonian fluids like polymer solutions,paper pulps, detergents, oils and greases may be classified by the pseudo plastic fluid model [6].
Nowadays a lot of interest has been shown by researcher towards the study of the thin film flows of non-Newtonian fluidsdue to its wide spread applications in nonlinear sciences and engineering industries. The work on the thin film flows of non-Newtonian fluids under various configurations is relatively of recent origin. Siddiqui et al. [7] discussed the thin film flows ofa third grade fluid down an inclined plane. In [8] they examined the thin film flows of Phan-Thein–Tanner (PTT) fluids on amoving belt. Siddiqui et al. [9] also considered the same flow of non-Newtonian fluids on a moving belt. The thin film flow ofa fourth grade fluid down a vertical cylinder is also analyzed by Siddiqui et al. [10]. Adomian decomposition method [11–19]plays an important role and many researchers have applied Adomian decomposition method to a wide class of linear andnon-linear ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations. Further the ADM resultswere compared with numerical solution in which both were agree very well. J.S. Duan introduced new techniques for theAdomian polynomials [20–23].

where V is the velocity vector, q is the constant density and f is the body force per unit mass, P denotes the dynamic pres-sure, D

3. Formulation of the electrically conducted paint film flow down a vertical wall by gravity
Consider steady, incompressible, parallel, laminar flow of electrically conducting paint flowing down on an infinite ver-tical wall. Also assume that the flow of the paint film on a infinite vertical wall is laminar and uniform. The thickness of thepaint film is assumed to be d and gravity acts in the negative z-direction (downward) which means that gz ¼ �g. The bound-ary conditions for the problem are.
(i) There is no-slip at the wall
at x ¼ 0; w ¼ 0: ð6Þ
(ii) At the free surface, the shear is negligible, thus
at x ¼ d; Sxz ¼ 0; ð7Þ
where Sxz is the shear stress component of the pseudo-plastic fluid.
546 M.K. Alam et al. / Applied Mathematics and Computation 245 (2014) 544–556
The velocity field with magnetic effect for the stated problem defines as
V ¼ ð0;0;�rB20wðxÞÞ; ð8Þ
and extra stress tensor as
S ¼ SðxÞ: ð9Þ
By inserting (8) in (1) and (9), the continuity Eq. (1) is identically satisfied and Eq. (2) takes the following form
0 ¼ dSxx
dxþ qf1; ð10Þ
0 ¼ dSxz
dxþ qf3 � rB2
0wðxÞ; ð11Þ
where f1 and f3 are components of body force in x and z directions, respectively.Since z-axis is in upward direction and gravity acts in the negative z-direction (downward) which means that gz ¼ �g, so
the above equations become
0 ¼ dSxx

0 ¼ dSxz

The non-zero components of S are obtained by inserting Eq. (4), (5) and (8) in Eq. (3)

We observe that Eq. (19) subject to the above boundary conditions is a non-linear second order differential equation. It is awell-posed problem, but difficult to calculate its exact solution because of its high degree of non-linearity. Therefore, weapply the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and numerical method for the solution of this problem.

which is the velocity profile for the drainage of the pseudo-plastic fluid in the presence of transverse magnetic field down thevertical wall. Here, Wi; 1 6 i � 9 are constants and are given in Appendix A. According to Eq. (42) the ADM solution’s accu-racy increases by increasing the number of solution components.
In this chapter the flow behavior during the paint film flow problem of an electrically conducting pseudo-plastic fluid inthe presence of transverse magnetic field on an infinite vertical wall has been modeled and analyzed using ADM and Numer-ical approaches. Excellent agreement between the two solutions was achieved as can be observed in Fig. 1 and Table 1.Results obtained are shown graphically in Figs. 2–7.

In Fig. 2, it is observed that the velocity profile wðxÞ increases with the increasein M2. Also in Fig. 3 the non-Newtonian parameter b has the same effect as the M2 has on the velocity field wðxÞ. Fig. 4 showsthe influence of the Stokes number St on the dimensionless velocity profile wðxÞ. It is noticed that the velocity profileincreases by decreasing the Stokes number St . Table 1 shows the ADM and numerical comparison for the paint film flowof pseudo-plastic fluid keeping St ¼ 0:1; b ¼ 0:5 and M2 ¼ 0:5. The Numerical values are given in Tables 2–6 for different val-ues of non-Newtonian parameters b, Stokes number St and MHD effect M2, which illustrate that for small values of non-New-tonian parameter there is significant improvement in the solution of the velocity profile. The numerical solution is alsopresented for the paint film flow problem which fully support the ADM solution and the whole detail is given below. Thenumerical results are valid for all values of fluid parameters. The graph are plotted for 0 6 b < 1.

Such strategy has been used successfully in non-linear acoustics [26]. Thenumerical marching requires the value of wð~x ¼ 0Þ in order to initiate the marching. Thus a Runge–Kutta method was usedby guessing that value and iterating it until achieving wð~x ¼ 1Þ ¼ 0 by the end of the numerical marching. The bisection iter-ative procedure has been employed and for this purpose it was found sufficient to assume wð~x ¼ 0Þ lies between 0 and 1 inorder to promote convergence in the bisection iterative procedure. Further details on the numerical schemes are givenbelow.
4.1. Numerical solution procedure
The numerical solution procedure is based on the numerical scheme by selecting the dominant derivative term in the Eq.
(43). We identified the dominant derivative terms dwdx or bðdw

and used that to marched forward while evaluated the other
