Abstract Flow towards a rotating disk is of highly practical significance in numerous engineering applications such as Turbine disks, rotary type machine systems and many more. In light of this, the current work is an attempt to explore MHD oblique flow towards a rotating disk. Hydromagnetic effects in addition to heat transfer is taken into consideration. The flow governing Partial Differential Equations are altered to a system to coupled non-linear Ordinary Differential Equations through scaling group of transformations which afterwards are tackled using Shooting Algorithm. The impact of obliqueness parameter γ, rotation ratio parameter $$\alpha$$ α and magnetic field parameter M on 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional stream contours are presented. Location of the shear center varies with magnetic field parameter. Heat flow at the disk surface boosts with magnet field parameter M and rotation ratio parameter $$\alpha$$ α .
