Abstract

BackgroundRheological fluids enduring bio convection are gaining great attention in modern day industrial, technological and several manufacturing industries. Such flows are evident in chemical and mining industry, biomedical flows, and many other fields of science and engineering. Among the many other rheolgical liquids, Sutterby fluid model is significant due to its characteristics of Pseudoplastic and dilatant fluids. It portrays dilute polymer solutions, which has numerous applications in industrial practice. MethodsIn this theoretical research two-dimensional hydromagnetic stagnation point flow of Sutterby bio convective fluid through an elastic surface has been discussed. The mathematical model of governed problem is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. These nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are handled by using shooting scheme (numerical technique). Significant findingsInfluence of all physical constraints for temperature, concentration of gyrotactic microorganism and velocity profiles are presented graphically. Local heat & mass flux and density of microorganisms (Physical quantities of interest) are presented numerically through bar charts.
