Abstract

The present study deals with the steady axisymmetric flow of micropolar fluid between two parallel porous plates when the fluid is injected through both walls at the same rate. The influence of velocity slip at the porous surface is analyzed. A detailed finite-difference solution is developed for the resulting non-linear coupled differential equations representing velocities and microrotation. The numerical computations are obtained for radial, axial velocities, and microrotation for varying injection Reynolds number, micropolar parameter, and slip coefficient. Further, a comparison of the results is given with those obtained in the literature with different methods as special cases.
