The present study investigates the micropolar Jeffrey fluid flow in the presence of magnetic field across a stretching surface through porous medium. Through suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and been solved numerically using MATLAB software (built-in solver called bvp4c boundary value problem fourth order collocation method) which establish the numerical solutions for such transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution for fluid velocity, micro-rotation and temperature thus obtained are explained graphically in which the influence of various pertinent parameters like magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, spin gradient viscosity parameter, unsteadiness parameter, Jeffrey fluid parameter, etc., on velocity, micro-rotation and temperature profiles has been studied and discussed. The plotted results are discussed for flow and heat transfer characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
