Abstract

This article addresses the time-dependent flow of magnetized rheological Carreau nanoliquid conveying microorganisms over a moving wedge with velocity slip and thermal radiation features. Carreau fluid is auspicious to depict several types of physical issues because this fluid model has the capability of revealing the rheology of multiple specific fluids such as fluids with brief-chain suspension particles, fluid crystals, detergents, and blood in animals and humans. The mathematical formulation is developed by combining the impact of infinite shear rate viscosity. The physical aspects for both static and moving are discussed in detail. At first, relevant similarity transformations are employed to obtain dimensionless form of equations, and then renovated equations have been solved numerically by employing bvp4c via MATLAB based on shooting technique. Both the numerical and graphical results against physical quantities, such as velocity temperature, nanoparticles concentration and density of gyrotactic microorganism, are observed under the influence of physical parameters.
