Asymptotic behavior of micropolar fluid flow through a curved pipe

We study the stationary motion of a micropolar fluid in a thin (or long) curved pipe via rigorous asymptotic analysis. An asymptotic solution is found, showing explicitly the effects of pipe's distortion and microstructure on the effective behavior of the flow. We justify the obtained model by proving the corresponding error estimate.
