Abstract
Purpose
The current paper investigates the bioconvective third-grade nanofluid flow containing gyrotactic organisms with Copper-blood nanoparticles in permeable walls.
Design/methodology/approach
The equations governing the flow are solved by adopting the Adomian decomposition method.
Findings
The results show that the biconvection Peclet number decreases the density of motile microorganisms, and the Rayleigh number also decreases the velocity profile.
Practical implications
The present study can be applied to design the higher generation microsystems.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such investigation has been carried out in the literature.
