Abstract
In This paper, we deal with the study of the effect of magnetohydrodynamic on thin films of unsteady mi-cropolar fluid through a porous medium. These Thin films are considered for three different geometries. The governing continuity, momentum and angular momentum equations are converted into a system of non-lin-ear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. The resulting system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations is solved numerically by using shooting method. A representative set of numerical results in the three thin film flow problems for velocity and micro-rotation profiles are dis-cussed and presented graphically. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out to show the effects of the micropolar fluid parameters, magnetic field parameter, permeability parameter and etc. on the obtained solu-tions.
