    MIXED BIOCONVECTION FLOW OF A NANOFLUID CONTAINING GYROTACTIC MICROORGANISMS PAST A VERTICAL SLENDER CYLINDER

    A.M. Rashada , A.J. Chamkhab , B. Mallikarjunac,*, M.M.M. Abdoua

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.10, pp. 1-8, 2018, DOI:10.5098/hmt.10.21

    Abstract In this paper, the steady mixed bioconvection flow of a nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms past a vertical slender cylinder is studied. The passively controlled nanofluid model is applied to approximate this nano-bioconvection flow problem, which is believed to be physically more realistic than previously commonly used actively controlled nanofluid models. Using a suitable transformation, the nonlinear system of partial differential equations is converted into non-similar equations. These resulting equations are solved numerically using an accurate implicit finitedifference method. The present numerical results are compared with available data and are found in an excellent agreement. The skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.131, No.3, pp. 1669-1692, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.017914

    Abstract In current study, the numerical computations of Reiner–Rivlin nanofluid flow through a rotational disk under the influence of thermal radiation and Arrhenius activation energy is considered. For innovative physical situations, the motile microorganisms are incorporated too. The multiple slip effects are considered in the boundary conditions. The bioconvection of motile microorganism is utilized alongside nanofluids to provide stability to enhanced thermal transportation. The Bioconvection pattern in various nanoparticles accredits novel applications of biotechnology like the synthesis of biological polymers, biosensors, fuel cells, petroleum engineering, and the natural environment. By deploying some suitable similarity transformation functions, the governing partial differential equations… More >

    Bioconvection Cross Diffusion Effects on MHD Flow of Nanofluids over Three Different Geometries with Melting

    Tahir Kamran, Muhammad Imran*, Muhammad N. Naeem, Mohsan Raza

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.131, No.2, pp. 1023-1039, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.017391

    Abstract Currently, nanofluid is a hot area of interest for researchers. The nanofluid with bioconvection phenomenon attracted the researchers owing to its numerous applications in the field of nanotechnology, microbiology, nuclear science, heat storage devices, biosensors, biotechnology, hydrogen bomb, engine of motors, cancer treatment, the atomic reactor, cooling of devices, and in many more. This article presents the bioconvection cross-diffusion effects on the magnetohydrodynamic flow of nanofluids on three different geometries (cone, wedge, and plate) with mixed convection. The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and Arrhenius activation energy applications are considered on the fluid flow with melting phenomenon. The flow is… More >

    Bioconvection Mangnetohydrodynamic Tangent Hyperbolic Nanofluid Flow with Quartic Chemical Reaction Past a Paraboloid Surface

    S. M. Atif1, W. A. Khan2,*, Muhammad Abbas3,*, Umair Rashid4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.130, No.1, pp. 205-220, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.017304

    Abstract In this numerical study, the effect of quartic autocatalysis type of chemical reaction, buoyancy force and thermal radiation phenomenon and magnetic effect on tangent hyperbolic nanofluid past an upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid has been studied. By considering the Buongiorno model approach, a diffusion of unequal coefficients in the presence of gyrotactic microorganism is discussed. Implementation of microorganism's idea is used to stabilize the nanoparticles through bioconvection. The modeled PDEs of the problems are converted into nonlinear ODEs with the assistant of the similarity transformations. To tackle nonlinear ODEs, MATLAB package bvp4c is used. In addition, a hallmark of… More >

    Numerical Simulation for Bioconvection of Unsteady Stagnation Point Flow of Oldroyd-B Nanofluid with Activation Energy and Temperature-Based Thermal Conductivity Past a Stretching Disk

    Muhammad Sami Rashad1, Haihu Liu1,*, Shan Ali Khan2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.130, No.1, pp. 233-254, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.017277

    Abstract A mathematical modeling is explored to scrutinize the unsteady stagnation point flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid under the thermal conductivity and solutal diffusivity with bioconvection mechanism. Impacts of Joule heating and Arrhenius activation energy including convective boundary conditions are studied, and the specified surface temperature and constant temperature of wall (CTW) are discussed. The consequences of thermal conductivity and diffusivity are also taken into account. The flow is generated through stretchable disk geometry, and the behavior of non-linear thermal radiation is incorporated in energy equation. The partial differential equations governing the fluid flow in the structure is reduced into dimensionless nonlinear… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.2, pp. 525-549, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08576

    Abstract This study focusses on the numerical investigations of boundary layer flow for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and a power-law nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms on an exponentially stretching surface with zero nanoparticle mass flux and convective heating. The nonlinear system of the governing equations is transformed and solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The impacts of the transverse magnetic field, bioconvection parameters, Lewis number, nanofluid parameters, Prandtl number and power-law index on the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, density of motile microorganism profiles is explored. In addition, the impacts of these parameters on local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt, local Sherwood numbers and local density number… More >
