Stagnation point flow of a micropolar fluid towards a stretching sheet
TL;DR: The steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet when the sheet is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation point, has been studied in this paper.

Hydromagnetic flow over a surface stretching with a power-law velocity
TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary layer flow due to a plate stretching with a power-law velocity distribution in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is studied, and an accurate expression for the skin friction coefficient is derived using Crocco's transformation.

Numerical linear algebra aspects of globally convergent homotopy methods
TL;DR: Probability one homotopy algorithms as mentioned in this paper are a class of methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations that are globally convergent with probability one, and if constructed and implemented properly, are robust, numerically stable, accurate, and practical.

Theory of Micropolar Fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived equations of motion, constitutive equations and boundary conditions for a class of fluids named micropolar fluids, which respond to micro-rotational motions and spin inertia and therefore can support couple stress and distributed body couples.
