At present there exist several approaches to the formulation of fluids that contain structures. These fluids have various names such as simple microfluids, micropolar fluids, deformable directed fluids, polar fluids, anisotropic fluids, etc. In this paper the steady laminar flow of micropolar fluid in a slot between rotating surfaces of revolution, having a common axis of symmetry, is considered. To solve this problem the boundary layer equations for micropolar fluid are used and expressed for the axially symmetric case in the intrinsic curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system _ . The method of small parameter is used to solve the boundary layer equations. As a result one obtains the formulae for the velocity field and pressure. The solution to the equations of motion have been illustrated by plots of velocity components _ microrotation _ and pressure p.
