A Non-Standard Finite Difference Scheme for Magneto-Hydro Dynamics Boundary Layer Flows of an Incompressible Fluid Past a Flat Plate

This paper deals with a non-standard implicit finite difference scheme that is defined on a quasi-uniform mesh for approximate solutions of the Magneto-Hydro Dynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of an incompressible fluid past a flat plate for a wide range of the magnetic parameter. The proposed appro...
