This paper studies the flow of an incompressible, constant density micropolar fluid past a stretching sheet. The governing boundary layer equations of the flow are solved numerically using a globally convergent homotopy method in conjunction with a least change secant update quasi-Newton algorithm. The flow pattern depends on three non-dimensional parameters. Some interesting results are illustrated graphically and discussed. © 1985 Birkhäuser Verlag Basel.

Micropolar flow past a stretching sheet

ZAMP Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik

The flow of an incompressible, constant density micropolar fluid past a porous stretching sheet is investigated. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a numerically equivalent system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved numerically using a globally convergent homotopy method in conjunction with a least charge secant update quasi-Newton algorithm. The flow pattern depends on three nondimensional parameters and a suction (on injection) parameter A. A comparison between the A = 0 flow behavior representing an impermeable sheet and fluid flow behavior for the porous sheet (A ≠ 0) is presented with the numerical results illustrated graphically. © 1986.

Micropolar flow past a porous stretching sheet

An analysis is presented to investigate the effects of a chemical reaction on an unsteady flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The resulting nonlinear coupled differential equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme together with shooting method. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity, angular velocity (microrotation), temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number has been studied and numerical results are presented graphically and in tabular form. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
