Numerical analysis of slip-enhanced flow over a curved surface with magnetized water-based hybrid nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms

Abstract

AbstractThis article presents the two-dimensional flow of hybrid nanofluid comprising of gyrotactic microorganisms under the consequences of multiple slip conditions, magnetic field and thermal radiation across an elongating curved surface using porous media. The nanoparticles of TiO2 and Fe3O4 have dispersed in water for composition of hybrid nanofluid. Main equations of the problem are converted to ODEs by using an appropriate set of variables. Solution of the present model is determined with the help of bvp4c technique, which is explained in detail in the coming section. Validation of the current results is done versus the published work. The effects of various emerging factors on flow distributions have been considered and explained. Additionally, the slips conditions are incorporated to analyze various flow distributions. The present outcomes show that the rising magnetic factor lessens the velocity profile, whereas rises the temperature profile. The curvature factor has supported both temperature and velocity distributions. Growth in velocity, thermal, concentration, and microorganisms slip factors reduce the corresponding distributions. The greater impact of the embedded parameters is found on hybrid nanofluid flow when matched to nanofluid flow.
