Abstract
The problem of mixed convective non-steady three dimensional flow of a micropolar fluid near the stagnation point of a blunt nosed body has been discussed. The governing set of differential equations are solved using the Finite Element Method. The velocity and microrotation distribution are shown graphically to depend upon four parameters namely the micropolar parameter, Grashof number, buoyancy parameter and the degree of acceleration. The conclusions are quite interesting from the application point of view.
