Abstract

We investigated the non-classical heat conduction effects in Stokes’ second problem of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium are considered. The expressions for the velocity field, angular velocity and temperature field are obtained analytically. The effects of β, Grashof number G and Darcy number Da on the velocity field and Angular velocity are studied in detail.
