Nonsimilar solutions for free convection from a nonisothermal vertical plate in a micropolar fluid

Abstract

A nonsimilar boundary layer analysis is presented for the problem of natural convection in micropolar fluids along a nonisothermal vertical plate. The transformed governing laws are solved numerically using a finite difference method. Numerical results are presented for the details of the velocity and temperature fields for a range of values of material properties of the fluid.
