The paper deals with the pulsating flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid through a channel bounded by permeable beds. The fluid is injected into the channel from the lower permeable bed with a certain velocity and is sucked into the upper permeable bed with the same velocity. The flow between the permeable beds is assumed to be governed by micropolar fluid flow equations and that in the permeable regions by Darcy law. The Beavers–Joseph (BJ) slip boundary conditions are used at the interfaces of the permeable beds. The governing equations are solved analytically and the expressions for velocity, microrotation, mass flux and shear stress are obtained. The effects of diverse parameters on the velocity and microrotation are studied numerically and the results are presented through graphs.


The unsteady stokes flow of incompressible micropolar fluid between two porous plates is considered. The lower plate is subjected to periodic suction and different periodic injection is applied at the upper plate. Stream function for the flow is obtained and the variation of velocity function f  & g with  is shown graphically. The effects of the dimensionless parameters p, frequency parameter pt , micropolarity parameter pl and the microrotation parameter pj on the velocity functions f  and microrotation velocity function g are discussed and shown through the graphs.
