This paper is devoted to find analytic approximate solution by optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM) for the problem of nonlinear boundary layer flow. Two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a viscous fluid over a moving wedge in porous medium with suction/injection is investigated. Governing equations are transformed by similarity method into a third order Falkner-Skan equation and solved analytically using OHAM. This approach is highly efficient, ensuring a very rapid convergence of the solution only after one iteration. Graphical results are presented to discuss the effects of various parameters on velocity profiles. Further, the skin friction coefficient is also tabulated and compared with the corresponding results available in literature. Our results were found in an excellent agreement.
