A main feature of this study is the dependence of the characteristic length of the micropolar fluid on the small parameters describing the geometry of the thin porous medium under consideration. Depending on the ratio of $a_\ep$ with respect to $\ep$, we derive three different generalized Darcy equations where the interaction between the velocity and the microrotation fields is preserved.application/pdf25engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Homogenizationmicropolar fluid flowDarcy's lawthin-film fluidthin porous mediuminfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1007/s10665-020-10075-2
