Bioconvective peristaltic flow of a third-grade nanofluid embodying gyrotactic microorganisms in the presence of Cu-blood nanoparticles with permeable walls

摘要

Purpose - The current paper investigates the bioconvective third-grade nanofluid flow containing gyrotactic organisms with Copper-blood nanoparticles in permeable walls. Design/methodology/approach - The equations governing the flow are solved by adopting the Adomian decomposition method. Findings - The results show that the biconvection Peclet number decreases the density of motile microorganisms, and the Rayleigh number also decreases the velocity profile. Practical implications - The present study can be applied to design the higher generation microsystems. Originality/value - To the best of the authors' knowledge, no such investigation has been carried out in the literature.
