Abstract
This study aims to explore the flow characteristic of a nanofluid (๐ด๐ข/๐ต๐๐๐๐)
containing gyrotactic microorganisms flow through an artery exhibiting mild stenosis.
This study finding provide significant insights into the interaction with magnetic
field parameter, temperature-dependent viscosity, viscous dissipation, Arrhenius
energy, heat source parameter and the nanofluid. The governing flow equations are
converted into the dimensionless form using the appropriate similarity transformations.
The resulting partial differential equations are subjected to numerical investigation
employing the explicit FTCS (forward time central space) numerical technique within
the computational framework of MATLAB.
The major findings are that the increment in the thermal Grashof number leads to
rise in the velocity and volumetric flow rate. The increment in the Rayleigh number
leads to decline in the velocity profile. The results demonstrate that an increase
in the activation energy parameter reduces the Sherwood number and enhances the
concentration profile. The current effort holds promise for the advancement of biomedical
device design. It offers valuable insights into hemodynamic flow, applied therapeutically
within the biomedical sciences.
