Convective micropolar boundary layer flows over a wedge with constant surface heat flux

In this study, the steady laminar boundary layer flow of micropolar fluids over a wedge has been examined with the constant heat flux boundary condition on the wedge surface. The similarity variables found by Falkner and Skan are employed to reduce the streamwise-dependence in the coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions are presented for the heat transfer characteristics using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical procedure with shooting method. The micro-rotation velocity and temperature distributions across the boundary layer are plotted with different wedge angles and compared with the corresponding flow problems for a Newtonian fluid.
