MHD flow of a micropolar fluid with asymmetric wall temperatures

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of MHD of micropolar fluids with asymmetric wall temperatures in a vertical wall. The transformed boundary layer governing equations are solved by the Matlab software. The dynamic of micropolar fluids has been a popular area of research. As the fluid consist of randomly oriented molecules, and as each volume element of the fluid have translated as well as rotation. The analysis of physical problems in these fluids has revealed several interesting phenomena, which are not found in Newtonian fluids. Increasing the Magnetohydrodynamics parameter tends to decrease the velocity profile while the micro rotation increase as the Magnetohydrodynamics increases in vertical walls. © 2012 Nova Scicence Publishers, Inc.
