Micropolar fluid flow past a wedge in presence of motile microorganisms with the impact of heat source/sink

In this work, the analysis for Micropolar fluid past a wedge is carried out. The viscous dissipation and heat absorption are also considered for flow system doped with gyrotactic microorganisms. The transport model is developed using nonlinear PDEs, which are turned into a set of equivalent ODEs by suitable transformation equations. The shooting technique in conjunction with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme in Matlab bvp4c software, is used to solve a newly obtained set of equations numerically. The effects of key factors on nondimensionless momentum profiles, temperature, and motile microorganism density are estimated for the impact of pressure gradient parameter; Eckert number, material parameter, heat sink, and bioconvection Lewis number are explored. The numerical data so obtained is graphically created, and the consequences of the major factors are thoroughly described in both cases of Blasius and stagnation flow. There has been a good agreement between the current work and a previously reported result. The heat exchange rate is clearly accelerated with a heat sink. The increasing wedge parameter boosts the microorganism field.
