Abstract

In this study, the impact of thermal radiation and partial slip on magnetohydrodynamic flow of the Jeffrey nanofluid comprising motile gyrotactic microorganisms via vertical stretching surface is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations by utilizing the similarity transformations. The transformed equations are of order four, which are complex to solve analytically and hence, the coupled system is solved computationally by using the shooting technique along the Runge–Kutta integrated scheme. The ramifications of different thermophysical parameters on the density of gyrotactic microorganisms, Jeffrey nanofluid velocity, nanoparticles concentration, temperature, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. Comparing this study with the results already published favors the validity of this study. It is established that the Nusselt number is boosted on enhancing the thermal radiation parameter, and the reverse trend has been observed on increasing the Richardson number, whereas the gyrotactic microorganisms density is more in case of viscous nanofluid compared to the Jeffrey nanofluid.
