Abstract
- The three-dimensional (3D) nanofluid flow among the rotating circular plates filled with nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms is studied. A generalized form of the magnetic Reynolds number is used for the mathematical modeling of the ferro-nanofluid flow. The torque effects on the lower and upper plates are calculated. A differential transform scheme with the Pade approximation is used to solve the coupled highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The results show that the squeeze Reynolds number significantly suppresses the temperature, microorganism, and nanoparticle concentration distribution, and agree well with those obtained by the numerical method.
