| Summary: | A numerical study is carried out in order to investigate the multiple solutions of micropolar fluid in a channel with changing walls. Mathematical modeling of laws of conservation of mass, momentum, angular momentum and energy is performed and governing partial differential equations are converted into self-similar ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformation and then solved numerically by shooting method. A new branch of solutions is found and presented graphically and numerically for the various values of parameters, which has never been reported. |
