Abstract

This study explores the bioconvective behavior of a Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid, accounting for spatially varying thermal properties. The flow is considered over a porous, stretching surface with mass suction effects incorporated into the transport analysis. The Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid model includes variable thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity, and motile microorganism density to accurately reflect realistic biological conditions. Radiative heat transfer and internal heat generation are considered in the thermal energy equation, while the Cattaneo-Christov theory is employed to model non-Fourier heat and mass fluxes. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized to reduce complexity, and a numerical solution is obtained using a shooting method. Parametric studies are conducted to examine the influence of key dimensionless parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, and motile microorganism profiles. The results are presented through a series of graphs, offering insight into the dynamic interplay between physical mechanisms affecting heat and mass transfer in non-Newtonian bioconvective nanofluid systems.

1  Introduction

The frontiers in thermal engineering have brought the idea of nanofluids, for which multidisciplinary applications are noticed in the engineering and heat transfer processes. The nanofluids are a familiar category of liquids that obey peak thermal properties. Special applications of nanomaterials are referred to in the energy sector. The nanofluids present a joint distribution of metallic particles with some base liquids. The exceptional roles of nanofluids are taken in solar energy, cooling processes, nuclear systems, automated operations, extrusion processes, etc. In recent years, wide applications of nanofluids have been suggested in the presence of distinct thermal sources and diverse geometries. For instance, Choi and Eastman [1] have explored the basic properties and idea of nanofluids, while Eshgarf et al. [2] presented a comprehensive literature review for nanofluids subject to multi-phase and single-phase models. Meanwhile, Alsabery et al. [3] observed the convection flow of nanofluid due to inner surfaces and Hafez et al. [4] discussed the Casson nanofluid flow in the presence of electroosmosis influence. The flow model was further updated with Newtonian heating outcomes. It was found by Nagaraja et al. [5] that the curved flow was caused by heat transfer based on Prandtl number nanofluid and entropy generation effects. Khan et al. [6] examined the stable performances of Williamson nanofluid damped with slip effects, while the lubricated flow of Walters B nanofluid was predicted by Smida et al. [7]. Gupta et al. [8] presented an understanding of heat fluctuation due to Wu’s slip interference against Carreau nanofluid. The flow was oriented by a linearly stretched cylinder. Aich et al. [9] tested the heat improvement with the utilization of metallic particles in a radiated moving surface. Seethamahalakshmi et al. [10] reported the Casson-Maxwell nanofluid flow in the presence of slip effects. Khan et al. [11] deduced a fractional model defining the collection of molybdenum disulfide and graphene oxide nanoparticles. Sultan et al. [12] addressed the thermal investigation in a copper tube with the interaction of nanofluid. Dinarvand et al. [13] presented a comprehensive review of the significance of nanofluids in flat tubes. Khadija et al. [14] focused on the future photovoltaic thermal impact of nanofluid with diverse features.

In the modern era, research in non-Newtonian fluids has become important due to the novel importance of such fluids in the engineering and industrial framework. The scientists have embarked on developing various relationships for non-Newtonian materials to identify the rhetorical properties in a more classic way [1517]. In various classes of non-Newtonian fluids, the Reiner-Rivlin is a special kind of fluid model which occupies distinct rheology. The dilatancy features of non-Newtonian fluids can be justified by this model. The physical interpretation of the Reiner-Rivlin model is examined in the bio-fluid dynamics and industrial area. The Reiner-Rivlin model, a constitutive framework for non-Newtonian fluids, plays a significant role in both bio-fluid dynamics and industrial applications. Physically, it generalizes the Newtonian stress-strain relationship by allowing the stress tensor to be a function not only of the rate of strain but also of higher-order terms, thereby capturing complex rheological behavior such as shear thinning, viscoelasticity, and normal stress differences. In bio-fluid dynamics, the Reiner-Rivlin model is particularly relevant in describing the flow of blood, mucus, and synovial fluid—substances that often deviate from Newtonian assumptions due to cellular structures and protein content. These fluids exhibit time-dependent and nonlinear flow characteristics that are better captured by this model. Industrially, the model finds applications in polymer processing, food engineering, and lubrication, where materials like molten plastics, ketchup, and grease show pronounced non-Newtonian traits. The Reiner-Rivlin framework enables more accurate simulation and optimization of processes such as extrusion, mixing, and coating, thereby improving product quality and process efficiency. Its physical interpretation, rooted in continuum mechanics, offers insight into the internal structure of complex fluids and allows engineers and researchers to better design systems that handle such materials under varying stress and deformation conditions. The unique features of this model were identified by Reiner [18] and Rivlin [19]. The properties of the Reiner-Rivlin model are described by the spanning in biological liquids, polymers, chemicals, food products, the spectrum of materials, etc. Naqvi et al. [20] modeled a theoretical representation of the rotatory flow of Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid under the interference of slip. Khan et al. [21] depicted the entropy generation analysis for Reiner-Rivlin fluid subjected to metallic particle interaction. Arain et al. [22] addressed the squeezing flow of Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid in circular plates. The entropy production in Reiner-Rivlin fluid with the additional impact of thermo-diffusion applications was claimed by Khan et al. [23]. Selvi et al. [24] depicted the permeable layer effects in the spherical flow of Reiner-Rivlin material. Puspanathan et al. [25] observed the rotating disk analysis of Reiner-Rivlin fluid due to the shrinking surface. Alarabi et al. [26] examined the distinguished features of Reiner-Rivlin liquid with heat transfer effects. Yasin et al. [27] reported the properties of blood by following the Reiner-Rivlin liquid subject to Hall effects. Abdeljawad et al. [28] visualized the peristaltically driven Darcy flow of Reiner-Rivlin via theoretical assumptions, while Khan et al. [29] used the updated relations for assessing the heat transfer by using Reiner-Rivlin fluid.

Bioconvective transport is a physical phenomenon accounting for the pattern of microorganisms that float with minor densities. Owing to the concept of diverse instability, the microorganisms are able to swim in the upper layer of fluid, making it highly denser. The assessment of such denser effects is novel due to the stability impact. Utilizing the nanofluids with microorganisms results in more stable decomposition. The bioconvective phenomenon announcing applications in food products, biofuels, fertilizers, etc. Some recent research conducted on the bioconvective transport of nanofluid can be examined in Refs. [3034].

1.1 Proposed Work

The evaluation of the literature survey witnessed that diverse studies have been reported by researchers for the flow of non-Newtonian nanofluids, including those with bioconvective frameworks. However, the bioconvective transport of non-Newtonian nanomaterials has become more significant when the role of involved thermal features and temperature fluctuates. The aim of the current analysis is to highlight and disclose the outcomes of the bioconvective assessment of the Reiner-Rivlin (non-Newtonian) nanofluid by comprising the variable consequences of thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity, and motile density. The Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid model has been chosen to capture the complex non-Newtonian behavior of fluids that exhibit both viscous and elastic features, making it suitable for simulating enhanced heat and mass transfer in advanced engineering and biomedical systems. This model is particularly novel in modeling the flows through porous media, MHD effects, and bioconvective phenomenon. The porous moving surface with mass suction occurrence endorsed the flow while the heat source and radiative effects were utilized. The choice of a stretching surface for analyzing the heat and mass transfer phenomenon is especially valuable in processes such as polymer extrusion, fiber spinning, glass-fiber drawing, and metal sheet stretching, where the imposed surface strain directly governs boundary-layer development and thus controls the rates of thermal and solutal transport. The Cattaneo-Christov relations are used in heat and mass equations to modify the problem. Furthermore, convective boundary assumptions are used to analyze the flow. The numerical achievements are retained via a shooting scheme with fine accuracy, and the results are presented through physical visualization.

1.2 Novelty of Work

Current investigation pioneers a bioconvective investigation of a Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid with applications of variable thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity, and motile microorganism density within a porous, MHD-influenced moving surface featuring mass suction. Incorporating Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux models, convective boundary conditions, heat generation and thermal radiation and solving via a highly accurate shooting scheme, this analysis uniquely reveals how temperature-dependent transport properties and bioconvective interactions synergistically modulate flow, thermal, and concentration fields in advanced engineering and biomedical applications.

2  Mathematical Model

A uniform decomposition of Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid with microorganisms is considered. The flow is accounted for in two-dimensional space. The moving surface with velocity uw(x)=ax driven the laminar and steady flow. The stretched surface contains tiny pores due to the presence of saturated porous media. The dynamic of fluid is assumed to be electrically conducting, subjected to normal magnetic force. The fluid flow is affected by mass suction effects. For 2D flow, v and u velocity components are treated in the normal and horizontal directions, respectively. The extension is suggested in the energy equation by incorporating the heat source and radiation outcomes. The physical flow model is represented in Fig. 1. The nanofluid temperature is denoted with T, c is concentration and Π be microorganisms density. Summarizing such assumptions leads to the following set of equations [29]:

where vw is mass suction velocity, is coefficient of heat transfer, Tf is convective temperature, cw is surface concentration, a stretching constant and Πw is surface motile density. Moreover, the ambient surface temperature, concentration and motile density are defined by T, c and Π, respectively. Expressing following new variables to simplify the governing equations:

u=axf(ξ),ξ=aνfy,v=aνff(ξ),θ(ξ)=TTTfT,C(ξ)=cccwc,P(ξ)=ΠΠΠwΠ.}(10)

Interpreting these defined variables leads to following set of dimensionless system:

ff2+ff(M+λ)f+2β(f2ff)=0(11)

(1+α1θ+Rd)θ+α1(θ)2+PrNb(1+α1C(ξ))θC+Pr(fθ+Ntθ2)Prδa(ffθ+f2θ)+PrAθ=0(12)

3  Numerical Solution of Problem

A higher order problem consisting of dimensionless equations has been solved numerically. The shooting numerical implication of problem is suggested to achieve the approximate solution. The motivated numerical scheme is associated to peak accuracy and excellent convergence. The simulations are started by conversion of problem into the first order system as follows:

f=1,f=2,f=3,f=3,θ=4,θ=5,θ=5,C=6,C=7,C=7,P=8,P=9,P=9.}(17)

The conversion of first order system is:

The numerical computations are performed iteratively to achieve the desirable accuracy. In this technique, the bounded computational domain [0,ξmax] has been employed to finite domain [0,]. For attaining the desirable computations, no further modifications in numerical results will be examined by increasing ξmax. The iterations are performed by justifying following relations:

max{|Π2(ξmax)0|,|Π5(ξmax)0|,|Π7(ξmax)0|,|Π9(ξmax)0|}<ζ

with small real number ζ. The simulations are carried out until justifying the accuracy of 104.

4  Validation of Results

The validation of developed model is now ensured by comparing the work with Turkyilmazoglu [35] for some limiting constraints in Table 1. The numerical data evaluates the fine accuracy existed between both investigations.

5  Physical Analysis of Problem

To address the physical dynamic of problem, the role of each parameter is important. In this section, the physical interpretation of results is focused. Fig. 2a addresses the effects of Reiner-Rivlin fluid parameter β on velocity f. An enriching profile of f is noted for larger β. Physically, enhancement in f is justified in view of distinct rheology of Reiner-Rivlin fluid. Fig. 2b indicates the aspects of f in view of different values of mass suction fluid parameter ω. Increase values of suction coefficient leads to reduce the velocity profile. In suction phenomenon, the fluid loss within given domain due to which velocity reduces. In order to evaluates the profile of f for porosity parameter λ, Fig. 2c is prepared. The velocity declined for increasing change of λ. Physically, such reducing change in f is subject to permeability of porous space. These results are important for oil recovery and soil sciences.

Fig. 3a incorporates the analysis for variable thermal conductivity parameter α1 on temperature profile θ. With uprising α1, the increasing change in θ is revealed. Therefore, analysis for thermal profile with considering the variable thermal conductivity is important to boost the temperature profile. Fig. 3b focuses to significance of Biot number βi on θ. The identified results show an increment in θ by enlarging βi. Such peak results are due to presence of direct relation of βi with convective coefficient of heat transfer. Fig. 3c predicts that θ reduces when β is larger. The results for heat source parameter A against θ are revealed in Fig. 3d. The presence of heat source added external heat to the surface which boosted thermal profile. Fig. 3e aims to capture the importance of mass suction parameter ω on θ. The temperature profile improves for ω. Fig. 3f discloses the fundamentals of thermophoresis parameter Nt on θ. Subject to improving numerical values of Nt, an improvement in θ has been detected. The thermophoresis parameter represents the thermophoresis phenomenon which represents the collective transport of nanofluid in cooler region. Such immigration of fluid particles leads to improvement of θ.

Fig. 4a justifies the influence of variable Brownian diffusivity coefficient α2 on concentration profile C. The examined results conveying that C become larger against leading numeric values of α2. Fig. 4b expresses the effects of concentration relaxation time parameter δb on C. Here C declined for larger δb. Higher concentration relaxation time introduces a lag in the diffusion process, so the fluid responds more slowly to concentration gradients. As a result, mass transfer weakens and the overall concentration profile diminishes. The evaluation for profile of C subject to mass suction parameter ω is executed in Fig. 4c. Fluctuation in ω leads to increment of C. Suction draws fluid toward the boundary, strengthening the convective inflow of solute-rich fluid from the free stream. This enhanced convective transport steepens the concentration gradient and elevates the overall concentration distribution. Fig. 4d explores the outcomes for C in view of thermophoresis parameter Nt. The improvement is detected in assessment of C due to Nt. Presence of Nt leads to improvement of C. Such effects confirm the applications of thermophoresis phenomenon.
