In this paper, the steady rotational motion of a slip sphere in a semi-infinite micropolar fluid is investigated. The sphere is assumed to rotate about a diameter perpendicular to an impermeable plane wall. The slip and spin boundary conditions are imposed on the spherical particle surface while on the plane wall surface the classical no-slip and no-spin conditions are utilized. A semi-analytical technique based on the principle of superposition together with a numerical method, called the collocation method, is employed to obtain the hydrodynamic torque acting on the spherical particle. Numerical results for the torque are obtained and illustrated graphically.
