...Alessandra Borrelli; Giulia Giantesio; Maria Cristina Patria Purpose This paper aims to analyze the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an electrically conducting Newtonian or micropolar fluid when the obstacle is uniformly heated. Design/methodology/approach The governing boundary...

...A.A. Mohammadein; Rama Subba Reddy Gorla A boundary layer analysis is presented to study the heat transfer characteristics of a laminar micropolar fluid boundary layer over a linearly stretching, continuous surface. The study considers the effects of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation...

...Yedidi N. Murty The effect of throughflow and Coriolis force on convective instabilities in micropolar fluid layer heated from below for free‐free, isothermal and micro‐rotation free boundaries is investigated. Calculations are made using a lower order Galerkin approximation to solve the eigenvalue...

...I.A. Hassanien; A. Shamardan; N.M. Moursy; Rama Subba Reddy Gorla A boundary layer analysis is presented for the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of an incompressible micropolar fluid flowing over a plane moving surface in parallel or in reverse to the free stream. The isothermal...

... Keywords Laminar free convection, Micropolar fluids, Heat transfer, Boundary layers Abstract We determine the effects of micro-inertia density and the vortex viscosity on laminar free convection boundary layer flow of a thermomicropolar fluid past a vertical plate with exponentially varying surface...

...Rama Subba Reddy Gorla; M.A. Mansour; A.A. Mohammedien An analysis is presented to study the effects of buoyancy on forced convection in an axisymmetric stagnation flow of micropolar fluids over a vertical cylinder with constant or linear variation of surface heat flux conditions. Numerical...
