On the onset of bioconvection in nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms and nanoparticles saturating a non-Darcian porous medium

This paper presents an investigation for bioconvection of nanofluid holding gyrotactic microorganism over a stretching surface implant in a porous medium by taking the model introduced by Xu and Pop (2014). The bulk matrix linear resistance applied by porous media and the inertia effect characterized by the non-linear Forchheimer term are considered in the momentum equation. Using the similarity transformation, the governing PDEs are turned into a set of five similarities non-linear ODEs. Using charts and tables, the consequences of numerous parameters on flow features are examined and resolved in whole. The present results disclose that the rate of heat transmission is reduced with permeability parameter and inertial parameter whereas the rate of mass transfer is amplified with those parameters for suction and depleted for injection.
