ABSTRACT

The steady flow of a micropolar fluid, due to a stretching cylinder, is considered. The equations of motion are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, which in turn are solved numerically using SOR iterative procedure and Simpson's (1/3) rule, for three different combinations of the three dimensionless parameters involved. Results are calculated, for the range 0.1 to 100 of the parameter R. The accuracy of the results was checked by comparing them on different grid sizes and with the previous results where possible.
