- Description
- In the present study, the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics of a bioconvective nanofluid over a stretching plate subjected to an external magnetic field are analyzed. The nonlinear slip at the surface is modeled using the ThompsonTroian velocity slip condition, while convective boundary conditions are applied to account for heat and mass transfer in the thermal and concentration fields. To ensure uniform nanoparticle distribution, motile microorganisms are incorporated into the fluid. These microorganisms help counteract particle aggregation and prevent solidification within the medium. Their motion gives rise to the bioconvection phenomenon, enhancing overall fluid transport. The governing equations for momentum, energy, and species concentration are formulated as partial differential equations (PDEs), incorporating key effects such as viscous dissipation, magnetic field influence, and heat sources. Using similarity transformations, the PDEs are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This system is then numerically solved via Python solve_bvp function, which employs a collocation method for boundary value problems. The computed solutions are validated against existing literature, and residual analysis is conducted to ensure accuracy. The results reveal that an increase in magnetic field strength suppresses fluid velocity while simultaneously raising the nanofluid temperature. Additionally, higher critical shear stress associated with the ThompsonTroian slip model further reduces the flow velocity near the surface. Akadiai KiadZrt 2025.
