Summary
Three-dimensional, axially-symmetric, steady flow of a micropolar fluid, due to a rotating disc, is considered. The resulting equations of motion are solved numerically, for four different combinations of the six parameters involved, using the Gauss-Seidel iterative procedure and Simpson's rule. Results are presented both in tabular and graphical form.
