The paper is concerned with the investigation of the steady unidirectional flow of a Micropolar fluid of finite depth due to tangential stress applied at the surface. Numerically it is found that the velocity component (u) of the Micropolar fluid increases to a significant extent over the classical fluid.. The miocropolar effect increases the velocity of the classical fluid and rotation component a increases with the increase of the depthRefference:
