Abstract In this paper, the steady mixed bioconvection flow of a nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms past a vertical slender cylinder is studied.
The passively controlled nanofluid model is applied to approximate this nano-bioconvection flow problem, which is believed to be physically more
realistic than previously commonly used actively controlled nanofluid models. Using a suitable transformation, the nonlinear system of partial
differential equations is converted into non-similar equations. These resulting equations are solved numerically using an accurate implicit finitedifference method. The present numerical results are compared with available data and are found in an excellent agreement. The skin friction coefficient,
