Popis: This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem to the two-dimensional equations of incompressible micropolar fluids. We first prove that as the angular and micro-rotational viscosities go to zero (i.e., $${\gamma, \zeta \to 0}$$ ), the solution converges to a global weak solution of the original equations with zero angular and micro-rotational viscosities. Convergence rates are also obtained. Then, we study the boundary effects and prove that a boundary-layer thickness is of the value $${\delta(\gamma) = \gamma^\alpha}$$ with $${\alpha \in (0, 1/2)}$$ , provided $${\lim_{\gamma \to 0} \zeta \gamma^{1/2} < \infty}$$ .
