A Theoretical analysis is carried out to study the boundary-layer flow
over a continuously moving surface through an otherwise quiescent mic
ropolar fluid. The transformed boundary-layer equations are solved num
erically for a power-law surface velocity using the Keller-box method.
The effects of the micropolar K and exponent m parameters on the velo
city and microrotation field as well as on the skin-friction group are
discussed in a detailed manner. It is shown that there is a near-simi
larity solution of this problem. The accuracy of the present solution
is also discussed.
