The current study proposes the technique of intelligent numerical computing using back-propagated neural networks (BNNs) for the numerical treatment of a magnet cross-bioconvection flow analysis of nanofluid modal (MHDBC-NFM) including gyrotactic microorganisms with activation energy. Utilizing efficient information, the original system model MHDBC-NFM in partial differential equations (PDEs) is remade into non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Using the computational capability of the Lobatto IIIA technique, these generated non-linear ODEs are then bettered to provide a dataset of Levenberg Marquardt algorithm-based backpropagated neural networks (LMA-BNNs) for twelve scenarios of this proposed model. The validation, training, and testing processes are carried out simultaneously to acclimate the neural networks. Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation is used to lower the mean square error (MSE) function, which is then used to derive the estimated solution for MHDBC-NFM for various scenarios. The comparative investigations and performance assessments using correlation, error histograms, MSE, and regression results illustrate the efficacy of the suggested BNNs methodology.

This paper investigates the bioconvection in rotating system between two rotating plates immersed in a nanofluid with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity. The passively controlled model is introduced to characterize the nanoparticle concentration on the upper plate. By means of the similarity transformation, the proposed governing equations are reduced to a class of coupled ODEs with boundary conditions and then the numerical solutions are obtained by the Matlab bvp4c ODE solver. Some important characteristics of velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration and density of the motile microorganisms are displayed graphically and discussed in detail. Results show that the viscosity variation parameter has remarkable influence on the local skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number, while local Nusselt number and wall motile microorganisms flux are more sensitive to the thermal conductivity variation parameter. Higher bioconvection Péclet number leads to the aggregation of the motile microorganisms in the middle of the two plates. Moreover, the aggregation of motile microorganisms is weakened by the intense Brownian motion, but improved by the thermophoresis effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work focuses on the numerical investigations of the existence of oxytactic microorganisms on the bioconvection flow of nano-encapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) inside an annulus. The novel geometry of an annulus contains an inner wavy cylinder and an outer circular cylinder considering a rotational circular velocity of an inner wavy cylinder. The incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method solved the dimensionless form of controlling equations. The novel annulus between the embedded circular cylinder and the outer circular cylinder can be applied in the tube bundles in heat exchangers. Further, rotation of an inner wavy cylinder in a circular cavity can be used in thermal fin's vibration and cooling of the electric devices. The effects of pertinent parameters such as a rotational frequency number ω , bioconvection Rayleigh number Ra b , thermal radiation Rd , Lewis number Le , and Hartmann number Ha on the contours of oxygen concentration ϕ , temperature θ , heat capacity ratio Cr , oxytactic microorganisms N , and velocity field V as well as the average Nusselt & Sherwood numbers Nu ¯ and Sh ¯ are conducted. Increasing ω enhances the maximum of V by 56.6% and lowers Nu ¯. The variations of Ra b are enhanced the contours of N and maximized the velocity field from 0.86 at Ra b = 1 to 8.22 at Ra b = 100 due to the power in bioconvection flow. Increasing Le diminishes the strength of oxygen concentration ϕ and microorganisms N. Increasing Ha from 0 to 50 slows down the velocity field's maximum by 47.2 % and enhances the value of Nu ¯.

A three-dimensional (3-D) investigation of micropolar nanofluid has been presented under the novel impact of nonlinear thermal radiation, activation energy and magnetohydrodynamic features. The induced flow is reflected by a rotating disk which rotates with uniform velocity along z -directions. The fundamental features of Brownian diffusion and thermophoretic assessment is determined by following Buongiorno's nanofluid model. The nanofluid contains gyrotactic microorganisms for which bioconvection pattern is examined for stability assessment. The model flow problem under the certain flow assumptions are retained into the set of dimensionless eqs. A numerical procedure is employed to achieve the solution of such equations. The prime features of parameters against velocity, temperature, concentration and microorganism profiles are graphically examined with justified physical consequences. The numerical computations for wall shear stress, effective local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and local motile density number are elaborated in terms of numerical data.

The aim of current attempt is to visualize the flow of ('modified') second-grade nanofluid with heat, motile microorganisms and mass transfer rates over stretching surface. The modified second grade fluid is utilized to analyze the rheological behavior. The energy equation is modified with presence of heat absorption and generation effects. In order to stabilize the suspension of nanoparticles, the concept of microorganisms has been introduced. Further present flow analysis is performed with Nield boundary conditions. The formulated equations are first reduced in to dimensionless form by using similarity variables. The approximate solution of these locally similar nonlinear ordinary differential equations is calculated by using shooting method through computational software MATLAB. The calculated results are carefully compared with earlier studies and found an excellent agreement. The ascendancy of interesting parameters like generalized second-grade parameter Brownian motion, thermophoresis effects, Peclet number are examined for multiple values of power law index. It is found that velocity profile declined effectively by buoyancy ratio parameter and bioconvection Rayleigh number. The temperature and concentration profiles enhanced with thermophoretic parameter. It is further observed that motile microorganism profile depressed with Brownian movement parameter and Prandtl number.

On account of fabrication of nano bio-materials applications in various industrial and technological manufacturing systems, bioconvection in nanofluid has become famous in recent years. This investigation is made by adopting bioconvected flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid over stretched sheet which assumed to be oscillatory. The periodically moving sheet generates the flow. The thermal radiations effects are also encountered in the energy equation. Three independent variables governed by the flow equations are diminished into two independent variables. The series solution for transformed ordinary differential equations is calculated by homotopy analysis method. In present investigation, thermal radiation for linearized Rosseland's assumption is studied in one parametric approach instead of two parametric approaches. Here, the temperature profile does not depend upon Prandtl number and radiation parameter but combination of these two which is termed as effective Prandtl number. Significance of flow parameters on effective local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and local motile density number is evaluated in tabular form. It is noted that the temperature of nanoparticles effectively enhanced by increasing buoyancy ratio and Rayleigh number. The concentration profile increases with buoyancy ratio and bioconvected Rayleigh number. The higher values of bio-convected Peclet number lead to be decrement of motile microorganism profile. The results presented here can play effective role for enhancement of efficiency of heat transfer devices and microbial fuel cells. • Bioconvected flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid over stretched sheet is considered. • The periodically moving sheet generates the flow. • The thermal radiations effects are also encountered in the energy equation. • Local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and local motile density number are evaluated in tabular form.
