AB  - An analysis is presented to study the effects of buoyancy on forced
convection in an axisymmetric stagnation flow of micropolar fluids over a
vertical cylinder with constant or linear variation of surface heat flux
conditions. Numerical solutions are given for the governing momentum, angular
momentum and energy equations. Two flow regions, namely the buoyancy‐assisted
and buoyancy‐opposed cases are analysed. It is observed that the wall shear
stress and surface heat transfer rate increase or decrease with the buoyancy
force parameter depending on the flow regime being buoyancy‐assisted or
buoyancy‐opposed respectively.
