The numerical study of axi-symmetric, steady flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid past an impervious sphere is presented by assuming uniform flow far away from the sphere. The continuity, linear and angular momentum equations are considered for incompressible micropolar fluid in accordance with Eringen. The governing equations of the physical problem are transformed to ordinary differential equation with variable co-efficient by using similarity transformation method. The obtained differential equation is then solved numerically by assuming the shooting technique. The effect of coupling and coupling stress parameter on the properties of the fluid flow is studied and demonstrated by graphs.
