Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux effect on upper-convected Maxwell nanofluid with gyrotactic motile microorganisms over a porous sheet
Abstract
2-D UCM fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux, motile microorganisms, and bioconvection across a porous sheet studied. Brownian motion, thermophoresis effects, thermal radiation, and activation energy are considered. The microbiological field is reduced when the bioconvection Lewis number increases. For the more excellent buoyancy ratio value, the velocity field is decreased. The thermal field of species is reduced for a more significant Prandtl number.
