Abstract:
The current research findings will have potential applications in the development of drug-targeted and self-sterilizing technologies. This research investigates the bio-convective flow of Maxwell ferrofluid over a flexible spinning plate in the presence of a stationary magnetic field in this paper. This theoretical model is based on the CattaneoChristov theories, the Buongiorno microorganism model, and the Shliomis model, and it is solved using the finite element technique. Using the Galerkin weighted residual approach in COMSOL Multiphysics, the non-dimensional equations of this Maxwell ferrofluid model are numerically solved. The concentration and motility of the organism decrease with an increase in the ferromagnetic interaction number, concentration relaxation time parameter, Lewis number, and stretching parameter. In addition to increasing local heat transfer, local mass transfer, and local density of microorganisms, the ferromagnetic interaction number lowers the stress on the surface of the disk.
