MHD Stagnation Point Flow of Micropolar Fluid over a Stretching/ Shrinking Sheet

Abstract

In this article, the stagnation point flow of a micropolar fluid on a stretching/shrinking sheet has been discussed subject to the assumption of velocity slip. Similarity transformation is used to transform the modelled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) into a system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). The numerical results have been found by the shooting technique along with Adams Moulton method of order four. The obtained numerical results are compared with the help of Fortran Language program and compared with the earlier published results and excellent validation of the present numerical results has been achieved for the local Nusselt number. Finally, the numerical results are presented with discussion of the effects of different physical parameters.
