Micropolar flow in a porous channel with high mass transfer

Abstract: Two dimensional flow of a micropolar fluid in a porous channel is investigated. The flow is driven by suction or injection at the channel walls, and the micropolar model due to Eringen is used to describe the working fluid. An extension of Berman's similarity transform is used to reduce the governing equations to a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations. The latter are solved for large mass transfer via a perturbation analysis where the inverse of the cross-flow Reynolds number is used as th… Show more

“…Compared with Newtonian fluids, the governing equations include the micro rotation or angular velocity N whose direction of rotation is in the xy-plane, and the material parameters j, κ and ν s [11]. For consistency with other micropolar studies, all material parameters are taken as independent and constant.…”

“…This theory has provided a mathematical model for the non-Newtonian behavior which could be observed in certain fluids such as polymers, colloidal suspensions, animal blood, crystals and so on. Kelson et al [8] have determined the influence of the material constants of the micropolar fluids on the flow with high mass transfer through the channel walls for uniform injection or suction at the walls.
