Abstract

The primary objective of this study deals with numerical analysis of gyrotactic microorganisms in Williamson nanofluids under the influence of chemical reaction and variable thermal conductivity along with porous medium. Using the similarity transformations, the non-linear PDEs are transformed into ODEs. RK-Fehlberg with a shooting strategy utilised to address ODEs with the influence of MATLAB software. Effect of Permeability, Prandtl number, magnetic field, Williamson parameter, Schmidt number, Peclet number, the profiles of velocity, temperature, concentration, and motile microbe density are explored in detail, and the potential results are displayed in graphs. The density number, Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, and Sherwood number displayed in tables.
