Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to numerically examine the impact of gyrotactic microorganisms and radiation on heat transport features of magnetic nanoliquid within a closed cavity. Thermophoresis, chemical reaction and Brownian motion are also considered in flow geometry for the moment of nanoparticles.
Design/methodology/approach
Finite element method (FEM) was depleted to numerically approximate the temperature, momentum, concentration and microorganisms concentration of the nanoliquid. The present simulation was unsteady state, and the resulting transformed equations are simulated by FEM-based Mathematica algorithm.
Findings
It has been found that isotherm patterns get larger with increasing values of the magnetic field parameter. Additionally, numerical codes for rate of heat transport impedance inside the cavity with an increasing Brownian motion parameter values.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the research work carried out in this paper is new, and no part is copied from others’ works.

Abstract
Purpose
This article presents a numerical study of the heat transfer properties of a nanofluid created using engine oil as the common fluid and Fe3O4 nanoparticles within a square cavity embedded with porous media using the LTNE model in the presence of a Cattaneo–Christov heat flux. To obtain the governing boundary layer equations, the Boussinesq approximation and Darcy model are employed.
Design/methodology/approach
By applying the Finite Element method, the modeling equations for dimensionless vorticity, stream function and temperature contours with conforming boundary and initial conditions are scrutinized.
Findings
One important finding is that streamlines create a core vortex that is oriented centrally and has longer thermal relaxation times. In contrast, solid state isotherms are hardly affected by growth in thermal relaxation parameter values when compared to fluid state isotherms.
Originality/value
The research work carried out in this work is original and no part is copied from others.
