Stokes flow of Micropolar fluid beyond fluid sphere with slip condition

Abstract

AbstractThe present study is about the impact of the fluid motions of the micropolar fluids internally and externally of the fluid sphere with an interfacial slip condition using the analytic method. This enables to bring out solutions for the flow fields as indicated by the stream functions and the drag of the sphere. The work explores the possibilities of change in the slip and drag conditions and their evaluations are graphically proven. Apart from this, the study also identifies that the micropolar fluid flows beyond the Newtonian fluid sphere and vice versa by analyzing the stream functions and the drag of the sphere.
