Abstract
The boundary layer flow of a micro-polar fluid due to a linearly stretching sheet is investigated. The influence of various flow parameters like 'suction and injection velocity through the porous surface', 'viscosity parameter causing the coupling of the micro-rotation field and the velocity field' and 'vortex viscosity parameter' on 'shear stress at the surface', 'fluid velocity' and 'micro-rotation' are studied. The governing equations of the transformed boundary layer are solved analytically using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the obtained series solutions is explicitly studied and a proper discussion is given for the obtained results. Comparison between the HAM and numerical solutions showed excellent agreement.
