Micropolar fluid flow studied in this paper is influenced by microstructural slip. The flow is directed by a scheme of Partial Differential Equalities. These Partial Differential Equalities are then converted to nonlinear set of Ordinary Differential Equalities via boundary layer conversions. MATLAB bvp4c built in code is taken into account to resolve the leading set of ODEs, along with the initial-boundary settings. Hydro dynamical and thermal boundary layer outlines are considered and deliberated and the results are confirmed by linking with available literature in the classical case. Microstructural slip effects are shown on the Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient. This model can better predict the effects and characteristics of rotational slip. Specifically, it is predicted from the tabular and graphical results that the rotational slip affects the boundary layer thickness when second-order translational slip disappears. It is important to mention that augmenting the standards of Prandtl number and radiation constraint declines the fluid temperature in the nonappearance and existence of microstructural slip. Moreover, increasing the values of magnetic parameter enhances the fluid temperature in presence as well as in absence of microstructural slip.

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.
