Ananalysisiscarriedoutforaxisymmetric stagnation ?owofamicropolarnano?uidinamoving cylinder with ?nite radius. The coupled nonlinear partial di?erential equations of the problem are simpli?ed with the help of similarity transformations and the resulting coupled nonlinear di?erentialequations aresolvedanalytically byhomotopy analysis method HAM.Thefeatures ofthe?owphenomena, inertia,heattransfer,andnanoparticles areanalyzedanddiscussed. 1.Introduction Duringthepastyears,thestudyofstagnation?owshasbecomemoreandmoreimportant becauseoftheirapplicationsinengineeringandtechnology.Hiemenz1?rstdiscussedthe steady?owofaNewtonian?uidimpingingorthogonallyonanin?nite?atplate.Lateron, alargenumberofpapershavebeendoneonorthogonal,nonorthogonal,andaxisymmetric stagnation?ows.Someimportantstudiesonthetopicincludereferences2–10.
