The bioconvection in steady second grade nanofluid thin film flow containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms is considered using passively controlled nanofluid model boundary conditions. A real-life system evolves under the flow and various taxis. The study is initially proposed in the context of gyrotactic system, which is used as a key element for the description of complex bioconvection patterns and dynamics in such systems. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary ones through the similarity variables and solved analytically via homotopy analysis method (HAM). The solution is expressed through graphs and illustrated which show the influences of all the parameters.
