Abstract
A similarity solution of a steady laminar flow of micropolar fluids past wedges has been studied. The similarity variables found by Falkner and Skan are employed to reduce the streamwise-dependence in the coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions of the equations are then obtained using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the distribution of velocity, micro-rotation, shear and couple stress across the boundary layer are obtained. These results are compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid past wedges with various wedge angles. Numerical results show that, keeping
