Abstract: A study of the effect of drag force on an micropolar flow past a cylinder specifying uniform velocity away from the boundaries. We find a similarity solution, assuming the fluid outside the cylinder and satisfies the Eringen’s micro polar equations and applying no slip condition at the cylinder of the surface. An appearance for drag force is obtained. It is found that the increase in the coupling parameter with fixed coupling stress parameter is to increase drag. Further a reversed behavior is noticed that the drag is decreases and the same is represented graphically

Keywords: micropolar flow, coupling stress parameter, Drag, Eringen’s micropolar equations
