The steady flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid in a diverging channel is studied. An approximate solution for the equations of motion is obtained in the presence of the inertia terms. It is observed that in the case of a micropolar fluid, the radial flow pattern of a Newtonian fluid is accompanied by a cross flow which is more pronounced near the apex of the channel. The variation of the streamlines and the micro- rotation are plotted and discussed.
