A non-Newtonian fluid model is considered in which the stress is an arbitrary function of the symmetric part of the velocity gradient. Symmetry groups of the two-dimensional boundary layer equations of the model are found by using exterior calculus. The complete isovector field corresponding to some cases, such as arbitrary shear function, Newtonian fluids, and power-law fluids, are found. Similarly, solutions for some special transformations are presented.
