Abstract
This paper presents a parameter study of the flow of a micropolar fluid. The underlying equations and the choice of boundary conditions are discussed. Two flow situations are considered: Couette flow as a reference problem and the liddriven cavity problem. The governing equations are specialized for the case of twodimensional flow and discussed in dimensionless form. Several dimensionless parameters common in the theory of micropolar fluids are identified and their impact on the solutions is analyzed using the finite element method.
