The boundary layer equations are solved for the case of two-dimensional Hiemenz flow in hydromagnetics of a micropolar viscoelastic, incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid impinging normal to a plane in the presence of a transverse magnetic field saturated porous medium. Numerical solutions are given for the governing momentum and angular momentum equations. An approximate solution is given that is simple and yet sufficiently accurate for the entire range of values of the Hartman number investigated. A discussion has been provided for the effect of micropolar, permeability, and viscoelastic parameters on Hiemenz flow in hydromagnetics.
