Abstract: Steady incompressible micropolar fluid flow through uniform channel with stenosis is investigated. Assuming the stenosis to be mild and using the slip boundary condition, the equations governing the flow of the proposed model are solved and closed form expressions for the flow characteristics (resistance to flow and wall shear stress) are derived. Both the resistance to flow and the wall shear stress increase with the height of stenosis and slip parameter but decrease with microplolar parameter. The effects of other parameters on the flow characteristics also have been studied.
