Electromagnetohydrodynamic bioconvective flow of binary fluid containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms through a stratified stretching sheet

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Bioconvection has recently been the subject of dispute in a number of biotechnological fields that depend on fluids and their physical properties. When mixed nanofluids are subjected to heat and mass transmission, the process of bioconvection occurs ...

Dynamics of Eyring–Powell Nanofluids When Bioconvection and Lorentz Forces Are Significant: The Case of a Slender Elastic Sheet of Variable Thickness with Porous Medium

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
We examine thermal management in the heat exchange of compact density nanoentities in crude base liquids. It demands the study of the heat and flow problem with non-uniform physical properties.

Numerical Analysis of Bioconvection Generated by Chemotactic Bacteria

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2009
Numerical simulations were carried out modeling the bioconvection generated by chemotactic bacteria in a shallow chamber, and the influence of the Rayleigh number on bioconvection was examined.

A tale of three taxes: photo-gyro-gravitactic bioconvection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The term bioconvection encapsulates the intricate patterns in concentration, due to hydrodynamic instabilities, that may arise in suspensions of non-neutrally buoyant, biased swimming microorganisms. The directional bias may be due to light (phototaxis),

Finite Element Study of Bio-Convective Stefan Blowing Ag-MgO/Water Hybrid Nanofluid Induced by Stretching Cylinder Utilizing Non-Fourier and Non-Fick’s Laws

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
In the present framework, an analysis on nanofluid magneto-transport phenomena over an extending cylinder influenced by gyrotactic behavior of algal suspension, is made using the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux (non-Fourier) and mass flux (non-Fick’s ...

Penetrative phototactic bioconvection [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Fluids, 2005
Using the generic model of Vincent and Hill [J. Fluid Mech. 327, 343 (1996)] for phototaxis in a suspension of swimming algae, we investigate two-dimensional phototactic bioconvection in a suspension confined between a rigid bottom boundary, and stress-free top and lateral boundaries.

Nanofluid Bioconvection in Porous Enclosure with Viscous Dissipation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In this paper, the bioconvective nanofluid flow in porous square enclosure containing oxytactic microorganism associated with viscous dissipation, is discussed. The bioconvection flow in porous medium is framed by Darcy-Boussinesq approximation. Galerkin

Analytical approximations for the orientation distribution of small dipolar particles in steady shear flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Analytic approximations are obtained to solutions of the steady Fokker-Planck equation describing the probability density functions for the orientation of dipolar particles in a steady, low-Reynolds-number shear flow and a uniform external field.

The orientation of swimming bi-flagellates in shear flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Biflagellated algae swim in mean directions that are governed by their environments. For example, many algae can swim upward on average (gravitaxis) and toward downwelling fluid (gyrotaxis) via a variety of mechanisms.
