Abstract
This paper studies the flow of an incompressible, constant density micropolar fluid past a stretching sheet. The governing boundary layer equations of the flow are solved numerically using a globally convergent homotopy method in conjunction with a least change secant update quasi-Newton algorithm. The flow pattern depends on three non-dimensional parameters. Some interesting results are illustrated graphically and discussed.

Nonlinear Convection in Micropolar Fluid Flow Past a Non-Isothermal Exponentially Permeable Stretching Sheet in Presence of Heat Source/Sink

TL;DR: In this article, the consequences of nonlinear convection on boundary layer flow of micropolar fluid over a non-isothermal exponentially stretching sheet were investigated and the influences of suction/blowing and heat source/sink are also considered.

Globally Convergent Homotopy Methods.

TL;DR: Algorithms for solving nonlinear systems of (algebraic) equations, which are globally convergent with probability one, are applicable to Brouwer fixed point problems, certain classes of zero-finding problems, unconstrained optimization, linearly constrained optimization, nonlinear complementarity, and the dlscretizations of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems.

Thermal boundary layer in stagnation-point flow past a permeable shrinking sheet with variable surface temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the heat transfer in boundary layer stagnation-point flow over a non-isothermal permeable shrinking sheet with suction/injection was investigated, where the governing equations with the boundary conditions are transformed to self-similar nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then those are solved numerically by shooting method.

Generalized Crane flows of micropolar fluids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the hydromagnetic flow induced by a continuous stretching surface in a quiescent micropolar fluid and showed that the problem admits an exact analytical solution for arbitrary differentiable stretching velocities when the surface is permeable and a suitable lateral suction/injection of the fluid is applied.

Stagnation flows of micropolar fluids with strong and weak interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, two different boundary conditions for the spin are considered: vanishing spin and vanishing surface moment, and the equations of motion are reduced to dimensionless forms which include three dimensionless parameters, and integrated numerically by a Runge-Kutta method.

A globally convergent algorithm for computing fixed points of C2 maps

TL;DR: Chow, Mallet-Paret, and Yorke have recently proposed an algorithm for computing Brouwer fixed points of C^2 maps as discussed by the authors, and a numerical implementation of that algorithm is presented here.
