A numerical solution of the steady boundary layer equations under similarity assumptions is obtained for the three-dimensional flow of a micropolar fluid over a continuous stretching surface. The case when microrotation vector is zero on the solid surface is considered. Using properly similarity variables, the three-dimensional Navier – Stokes equations are reduced to a set of four coupled non-...

A study of the steady flow of blood through a horizontally symmetric artery with mild stenosis is presented by considering blood as a micropolar fluid. The viscosity of blood is considered as radial coordinate dependent. The non-linear pressure equations governing the flow are solved numerically using finite difference technique. The effects of micropolar fluid parameters and hematocrit on axia...

We study the flow of a micropolar fluid in thin domain with microstructure, i.e., thickness $$\varepsilon $$ which is perforated by periodically distributed solid cylinders size $$a_\varepsilon .

In this paper we define a finite difference method for the nonstationary 1D flow of the compressible viscous and heat-conducting micropolar fluid, assuming that it is in the thermodynamical sense perfect and polytropic. The homogeneous boundary conditions for velocity, microrotation and heat flux are proposed. The sequence of approximate solutions for our problem is constructed by using the def...

this paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...

The present study deals with the electrically conducting micropolar nanofluid flow from a vertical stretching surface adjacent to porous medium under transverse magnetic field. Eringen’s model is deployed for non-Newtonian characteristics and Buongiorno employed nanoscale effects (thermophoresis Brownian motion). includes double stratification (thermal solutal) also chemical reaction effects, h...

This paper analyzes cross diffusion effects on the steady, mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a micropolar fluid in the presence of traverse magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a...

The steady, two dimensional flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid near the stagnation point on a vertical plate with prescribed surface heat flux is studied. The free stream velocity and the surface heat flux are assumed to be proportional to the distance from the stagnation point. Similarity transformation is employed to transform the governing partial differential equations to a set of o...
