The present study deals creeping flow of a micropolar fluid past a sphere coated with thin fluid film. On fluid-film interface we used non-zero spin boundary condition for the micro-rotation vector. Thevariation of drag force with respect to different parameters is studied and some previous results deduced from present analysis.

Thevariation of drag force with respect to different parameters is studied and some previous results deduced from present analysis.
