Framing the effects of solar radiation on magneto-hydrodynamics bioconvection nanofluid flow in presence of gyrotactic microorganisms

The present article investigates the effects of solar radiation on hydromagnetic bioconvection of water-based nanofluid flow in presence of gyrotactic microorganisms past a permeable surface. The flow analysis has been considered under the effect of surface slip condition. The resulting partial differential equations take the form of ordinary differential equation by employing suitable transformation and then solved numerically using RK-4 method together with shooting technique. A parametric study on the flow characteristics are presented through tables and graphs coupled with required discussion and physical implication. A comparative study has been taken into account between previously published literature and present work to show the efficiency of our investigation and it shows excellent accord.
