In this study, we solve the problem of steady viscous flow of a micropolar fluid driven by injection between two porous disks using novel spectral modification of the homotopy analysis method (SHAM). The effects of Reynold's number ( Re ), and the micropolar parameters ( c 1 , c 2 , c 3 ) on the velocity profiles and microrotation are shown through tables and graphed and then discussed.
