Steady Flow of Micropolar Incompressible Fluid between Two Parallel Porous Plants

Abstract

Steady flow of a micropolar incompressible fluid between two parallel porous plates y=0 and y=h is studied by perturbation method. Injection velocity at y=0 is V/sub 1/ and at y=h the suction velocity is V/sub 2/. The behaviour of the various flow various is investigation for varying values of the micropolarity parameter k/mu. It is observed that the longitudinal velocity is more at the lower plate and less at the upper plate than in the non-polar case. It is also observed the wall friction is more at both plate when compared to the non-polar case.
