Abstract
In this paper, we study bioconvection radiative flow of power-law nanofluid. Nanofluid characteristics are incorporated by utilizing the Buongiorno model. The influence of motile gyrotactic microorganism is retained. Magnetohydrodynamics and time-dependent aspects are under consideration. Related governing expressions are transformed into dimensionless partial differential system. The resulting nonlinear system is tackled through finite difference technique. Outcomes of emerging variables like Prandtl number, Hartmann number, Buoyancy ratio parameter, Grashof number, Peclet number, bioconvection Rayleigh number, Peclet number, radiation and Schmidt number are graphically discussed. Velocity is controlled by higher Hartman number while it boosts against higher Grashof and bioconvection Rayleigh numbers, buoyancy ratio and stretching parameters. Higher radiation, Brownian and thermophoresis parameters lead to intensification in temperature profile while it reduces for higher Prandtl number. Bioconvection profile reduces against higher Peclet and Lewis numbers.
