The axisymmetric stagnation flows towards a shrinking sheet of Newtonian fluids has been solved numerically by using SOR Iterative Procedure. The similarity transformations have been used to reduce the highly nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. The results have been calculated on three different grid sizes to check the accuracy of the results. The problem relates to the axisymmetric stagnation flows towards a shrinking sheet when α < 0 and if α > 0 the axisymmetric stagnation flows towards a stretching sheet. The numerical results for Newtonian fluids are found in good agreement with those obtained previously.
The Magnetohyderodynamic (MHD) viscous flow of micropolar fluid over a shrinking sheet has been solved numerically. The similarity transformations have been used to reduce the highly nonlinear partial differential equations of motion to ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are then solved by using successive over relaxation (SOR) iterative procedure. The results have been calculated on three different grid sizes to check the accuracy of the results. The results for problem relates to the flows over a shrinking sheet are computed for various values of the flow parameters M and s, where M is the magnetic parameter and s is the wall mass transfer parameter. The numerical results for Micropolar fluids are found in good agreement with those of Newtonian fluids.
