Impact of Swimming Gyrotactic Microorganisms and Viscous Dissipation on Nanoparticles Flow through a Permeable Medium: A Numerical Assessment

In this paper, heat and mass transportation fl ow of swimming gyrotactic microorganisms (microbes) and solid nanoparticles under the viscous dissipation e ff ect is investigated. The fl ow model PDEs are renovated with ordinary ones using suitable boundary layer approximations. The system governing the fl ow model dimensionless equations as well as boundary conditions is numerically treated with the SOR (successive over relaxation) technique. The fl ow, heat, and mass transport characteristics are examined against the prime parameters. A comparison is examined to be in a good agreement with the earlier results. It is found here that fl ow and thermal characteristics of the problem are substantially a ff ected by the porous medium. The outcomes evidently point out that porous medium causes an enhancement in the skin friction and density of the motile microbes. Further, the rate of heat transport is devaluated at the surface of sheet due to viscous dissipation and elevated due to suction.
