Stagnation point flow over a stretching permeable sheet in a micropolar fluid

The steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching permeable sheet is considered. The stretching velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing partial differenti...
