Summary
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. Originality/value In this work, the MHD Falkner‐Skan flow is examined analytically. The series solution is obtained using the ADM coupled with Padé approximants.
