AB - The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid  have been investigated. The analytic solutions of the arising differential  system have been computed by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The  dimensionless expressions for wall shear stress and surface heat transfer are  also derived. Exact solutions of the momentum equation and numerical  solutions of the dimensionless energy equations have been obtained for the  steady-state case. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the  boundary layer thickness by increasing the elastic parameter (Deborah number)  for a Jeffrey fluid.
