MHD stagnation-point flow of a micropolar fluid with prescribed wall heat flux.

The steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection stagnation point flow towards a vertical surface immersed in an incompressible micropolar fluid with prescribed wall heat flux is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential eq...
