文摘
Bioconvection flow of nanofluid containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms is analyzed. The governing equations are transformed to a set of nonlinear BVPs. An analytical solution of the problem is obtained using the Least Square Method. Effects of physical factors such as nanoparticle volume fraction and bioconvection parameters of microorganism are discussed.
