This study presents the one-dimensional unsteady micropolar fluid flow set in a porous medium along with an inclined infinite Riga plate. This Riga plate is created an electric and magnetic field, where a transverse Lorentz force is generated that contributes a flow along with the plate. The explicit finite difference method is used to find the solution of the non-dimensional form of the governing equations and estimated results are analyzed in terms of Microrotation parameter, Suction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Permeability parameter, Hartmann number, Dufour number, Soret number, Schmidt number. Also, the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local and average shear stress, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are reported numerically as well as graphically.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the Soret and Dufour effects on an MHD micropolar fluid flow over a linearly stretching sheet, through a non-Darcy porous medium, where stretching velocity of the sheet varies linearly with distance from the origin, and, temperature and concentration vary non-linearly in the boundary layer region. By suitable similarity transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved by numerical computations with bvp4c along with the shooting technique method. The effects of the magnetic parameter, Soret number and Dufour number on velocity profiles, microrotation profile, heat transfer, and concentration, skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are computed, discussed and analysed numerically and presented through tables and graphs.
