| Summary: | This study focuses on obtaining a new class of closed-form shock wave solution
also known as soliton solution for a nonlinear partial differential equation which governs
the unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of an incompressible fourth grade fluid model. The travelling wave symmetry formulation of the model leads to a shock wave
solution of the problem. The restriction on the physical parameters of the flow problem also
falls out naturally in the course of derivation of the solution. |
