The transient radiative magnetohydrodynamic bioconvective flow of an Fe₃O₄-MoS₂ hybrid nanofluid over a ramped, inclined, oscillating plate in a rotating porous medium is investigated numerically in this work. The model mathematically integrates the effects of heat and mass transfer, thermal radiation, rotation, porous permeability, and motile microbes. Using appropriate similarity transformations, governing equations for momentum, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, or microbe density are converted into the non-dimensional equations. The coupled system is then solved using the Crank-Nicolson finite-difference approach. The impact of several significant parameters, including Peclet number, magnetic parameter, bioconvection Lewis number, or radiation parameter, on the flow characteristics is investigated numerically. This establishes that fluid velocity increases as the Peclet number increases, but with higher bioconvection values. The Lewis number reduces the velocity profile. Temperature as well as concentration profiles Radiation and diffusion parameters significantly impact temperature and concentration profiles. by radiation and diffusion parameters.Refference:
