| description | This research presents the numerical analysis of the fluid flow containing the micro gyrotactic organism with heat and mass transfer. The flow is allowed to pass through an inclined stretching cylinder with the effects of heat generation/a heat source and activation energy subject to the symmetric boundary conditions at the cylinder walls. Similarity transformation is employed in the system of PDEs (partial differential equations) to transform them into non-dimensional ODEs (ordinary differential equations). The solution to the proposed problem is obtained by using the bvp4c (numerical scheme). The graphical results are plotted for various flow parameters in order to show their impact on the flow, mass, energy, and motile microorganism profiles. Moreover, the angle of inclination disturbs the flow within an inclined cylinder and slows down the fluid motion, while it elevates the energy of the fluid inside an inclined cylinder. Similarly, the curvature effect is also highlighted in the dynamics of fluid velocity, temperature, and the motile microorganism profile. From the obtained results, it is elucidated that growing values of the curvature factor accelerate the temperature, velocity, and motile microbes’ profiles. Finally, some engineering quantities are calculated in terms of skin friction, the Nusselt and Sherwood number, and the density of motile microbes. The acquired results are also displayed in tabular form. |
