Mathematical modeling and simulation of magnetized bioconvective nanoliquid flow capturing Brownian motion, multiple slip, thermophoresis and gyrotactic microorganisms configured by rotating disk

Abstract

This analysis describes the bioconvective flow of nanofluid due to rotation of disk. A uniform suspension of nanofluid between microorganisms is considered to analyze the applications of bioconvection. The nanofluid assumed to be electrically conducting with amplification of magnetic force. The problem is entertained in presence of different slip features including velocity, temperature, concentration and microorganisms. The formulation of problem in simplified form is attained via dimensionless variables. Shooting numerical scheme is used to compute the simulations. Physical interpretation and visualization of results is observed in view of parameters. The observations concluded that interaction of slip effects reduces the velocity profile but enhances nanofluid temperature and concentration profiles. The temperature profile increases with thermophoresis parameter. Current results comprise applications in cooling of electronics devices, thin film coating, gas turbines engine, energy systems etc.
