MHD oblique stagnation-point flow of a micropolar fluid

Abstract

Abstract. The steady two-dimensional oblique stagnation-point flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid in the presence of a uniform external electromagnetic field (E 0 , H 0 ) is analyzed and some physical situations are examined. In particular, if E 0 vanishes, H 0 lies in the plane of the flow, with a direction not parallel to the boundary, and the induced magnetic field is neglected. It is proved that the oblique stagnationpoint flow exists if, and only if, the external magnetic field is parallel to the dividing streamline. In all cases it is shown that the governing nonlinear partial differential equations admit similarity solutions and the resulting ordinary differential problems are solved numerically. Finally, the behaviour of the flow near the boundary is analyzed; this depends on the three dimensionless material parameters, and also on the Hartmann number if H 0 is parallel to the dividing streamline.76W05, 76D10.

Radiation effects on the thermal boundary layer flow of a micropolar fluid towards a permeable stretching sheet

“…The effect of different emerging parameters on the temperatures profiles are displayed in Figs. [15][16][17][18]. It is obvious from these figures.…”

“…Ishak [15] studied the thermal boundary layer flow over stretching sheet in a micropolar fluid with radiation effect. More recently, Borrelli et al [16] discussed the MHD oblique-stagnation flow of a micropolar fluid. They solve the resulting problem numerically and demonstrated that oblique stagnation point flow exist if and only if the magnetic field is parallel to streamline.…”

“…Recently, Rosali et al [15] analyzed the flow of micropolar fluid past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a porous medium. Engineers and scientists have been engaged in the research of flows of micropolar fluids with different aspects [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Bhattacharyya et al [22] reported the radiation effect on the steady flow of micropolar fluid past a shrinking sheet.…”
