This research communicates the triple diffusion perspective of Eyring–Powell nano-materials configured by a periodically moving configuration. The thermal consequences of variable natures are utilized as a novelty. Combined magnetic and porous medium effects are also involved, which result in a magneto-porosity parameter. The thermophoretic and Brownian motion aspects are reported by using Buongiorno's nanofluid theory. The formulated flow equations in non-dimensional forms are tackled with the implementation of a homotopy analysis algorithm. A detailed physical investigation against derived parameters is presented graphically. Due to periodically accelerated surface, the oscillations in velocity and wall shear stress have been examined.
