Numerical investigation for 3D bioconvection flow of Carreau nanofluid with heat source/sink and motile microorganisms

Nanofluids are expected to be utilized in more efficient based processes. Such nanofluids are employed in cancer therapy, computer electronics, food packaging, and physical sciences, etc. The study focuses on the influence of bioconvection Carreau nanoliquid transport passing via a moving surface. Furthermore, the major properties of the Lorentz force and the magnetic field in Carreau nanoliquid transport are explored. The system of governing PDEs is turned into ODEs by using the appropriate transformation method and then solved by employing the bvp4c technique in computational MATLAB software (Lobatto IIIa formula). The contribution of several key numbers against the velocity profile, concentration profile, temperature profile, and microorganisms' profile are monitored, and the findings are represented by graphs and numerical data.
