Abstract: Abstract The present study investigates the Soret and Dufour effects on the unsteady stagnation point flow of micropolar fluid toward a permeable stretching surface. First, we obtained the ordinary differential equation using appropriate transformation on partial differential equations. Then we used the Homotopy analysis method (HAM) to solve the subsequent problem. The influences of different values for various pertinent parameters such as unsteady parameter, Schmidt number, chemical reaction parameter, Dufour and Soret number on concentration, and temperature distributions are determined. Numerical values of physically interested parameter like skin friction coefficient are computed and compared with the previous results.
