摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss free convection peristaltic flow in an asymmetric channel with nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganism. Design/methodology/approach governing equations for proposed model are simplified using “long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation.” Numerical solutions have been presented “velocity, pressure gradient, the solid volume fraction nanoparticles, temperature profile density motile microorganisms.” effects various parameters, i.e Hartmann number, nanoparticles amplitude ratio, Prandtl bioconvection Peclet constant, Rayleigh presented. Findings author finds that rise increases increase Grashof bioconvection, buoyancy ratio pumping section. Originality/value microorganism explore...
