Steady MHD Boundary Layer Flow of an Incompressible Micropolar Fluid Past a Moving Wedge

A MHD boundary layer flow of a two dimensional micropolar fluid past a moving wedge immersed in the flow, is solved analytically and asymptotically.The governing equations are transformed into a highly non-linear coupled system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation.We obtain an exact solution for a particular value of the pressure gradient and Hartmann's number, using the boundary conditions defined on the wall of the wedge which is then extended to all values of the parameter.The values of wall shear stress agree well with those obtained numerically, employing Keller-box method.
