Abstract

In this comprehensive study, the dynamic behavior of a copper-water nanofluid infused with gyrotactic microorganisms, focusing on the effects of Hall current, nanoparticle radius, inter-particle spacing, and multiple slip mechanisms is investigated. Through advanced numerical simulations and rigorous analysis, intricate relationships between the parameters and the suspension's characteristics are uncovered. Comparison of the present results show a good agreement with the published results. The research findings unveil the potential for fine-tuning transport processes, manipulating thermal properties, and controlling dispersion and aggregation in nanofluids. These insights hold promise for a wide array of applications, from enhancing heat exchangers and cooling systems to pioneering biomedical devices utilizing gyrotactic microorganisms for targeted drug delivery and sensing. This study not only advances the fundamental understanding of nanofluid dynamics but also paves the way for innovative developments across various scientific and engineering domains.
