  • Published:
Acta Mechanica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The time-independent equations for the two dimensional incompressible micropolar fluid have been considered. Using group method the equations have been reduced to ordinary differential equations and then solved analytically. Finally the boundary value problem has been discussed, and the graphical results are in good agreement with the numerical solution.
