The partial differentiation equations have been transformed into ordinary differentiation equations by a similarity transformation. Numerical results show the existence of dual solutions in a certain range of the governing parameters. A stability analysis to identify which solutions are stable and physically realizable by using the bvp4c solver implemented in Matlab has also been presented. %8 2018-07-06
