Three Dimensional Modelling of Magnetohydrodynamic Bio-Convective Casson Nanofluid Flow with Buoyancy Effects Over Exponential Stretching Sheet Along with Heat Source & Gyrotactic Micro-Organisms

Abstract

In current analysis, influence of buoyancy forces in MHD bioconvective non-Newtonian nanofluids over three dimensional exponential sheet has been studied numerically. Additionally, impact of heat source parameter along with convective conditions has been incorporated. Moreover, nanofluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms has been analyzed in presence of chemical reaction. Initially similarity variables are used for the conversion of partial differential equations into highly non-linear differential equations. Thusly, non-linear behavior of equations makes typical solutions which are not solved analytically. So, computational MATLAB software is used to calculate results and graphs by following shooting algorithm with Runge Kutta Fehlberg technique using ODE45 solver. Present modeling investigates the influence of crucial fluid parameters especially; magnetic M (0.1 ≤ M ≤ 0.9), Casson parameter β (0.09 ≤ β ≤ 0.13), permeability parameter Bθ, Brownian motion Nb (0.5 ≤ Nb ≤ 5.0), thermophoresis Nt (0.2 ≤ Nt ≤ 2.0), thermal Biot number Bt (0.3 ≤ Bt ≤ 0.7), heat generation parameter Q (0.1 ≤ Q ≤ 0.5), Prandtl number Pr (0.1 ≤ Pr ≤ 0.9), concentration Biot number Bc (0.1 ≤ Bc ≤ 0.9), Lewis number Le (1 ≤ Le ≤ 5), chemical reaction parameter Ch (0.1 ≤ Ch ≤ 0.9), bioconvective Lewis number Lb (0.1 ≤ Lb ≤ 2), Peclet number Pe (0.1 ≤ Pe ≤ 5), gyrotactic Biot number Bn (0.1 ≤ Bn ≤ 0.5), stretching ratio parameter c (0.1 ≤ c ≤ 0.3) and microorganism concentration difference parameter Ω (0.1 ≤ Ω ≤ 5.0). Final results are compared for Prandtl number and stretching ratio parameter along with residual errors. It is inferred that motile concentration declines for larger bioconvective Lewis number whereas rises for motile gyrotactic microorganism Biot number.
