Abstract
The present work aims to study the combined effect of external magnetic field and heating from below on the bioconvection of nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms. Modified Maxwell’s equations and generalized Buongiorno’s model are used to frame the flow constitutive equations of nanofluid saturated in the Darcy-Brinkman porous medium. The present investigation has been done in the framework of linear stability. The resulting eigenvalue problem along with boundary conditions has been solved using Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobato Spectral Method. Appropriate transformations are used to convert Neumann boundary conditions into Dirichlet’s one. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the critical thermal Rayleigh number has been shown through graphs and tables. It has been observed that magnetic field stablizes the system whereas fast moving microorganisms hasten the onset of convection.
