Numerical computations were used to investigate the effect of the Buongiorno slip mechanism and radiative heat on gyrotactic microorganisms in a nanofluid flow. The results show that the deposition of nanomaterials significantly affects the flow and heat transfer, particularly in the suction case.
Numerical computations are executed to investigate the consequence of the Buongiorno slip mechanism and radiative heat on gyrotactic microorganisms containing Casson cross nanoliquid flow across a moving wedge. The mixed nanofluid comprises magnesium and copper oxide (MgO and CuO) nanoparticles pondered in water. The bioconvection Falkner-Skan flow governing equations are resolved using the BVP5C Matlab package. Simultaneous solutions are drawn for suction and injection cases. Plots illustrate the effect of pertinent physical factors on flow, thermal, diffusion, and motile organism density. The wall friction, energy rate, and mass transmission are interpreted via tables. The outcomes reveal that the consequence of embedded features on the bioconvective mixed nanoliquid stream are substantial in the suction case as matched with injection case. The deposition of MgO and CuO nanomaterials raises the heat transmission of the base liquid to a more significant level. Further, the Buongiorno slip mechanism parameter intensifies the thermal outlines and decays the energy transport rate for suction/injection cases. The major applications of current investigation can be found in geothermal energy systems.
