摘要
The unsteady MHD boundary layer flow of a micropolar fluid near the forward stagnation point of a two dimensional plane surface is investigated by using similarity transformations. The transformed nonlinear differential equations are solved by an analytic method, namely homotopy analysis method (HAM). The solution is valid for all values of time. The effect of MHD and porous medium, non dimensional velocity and the microrotation are presented graphically and discussed. The coefficient of skin friction is also presented graphically.
