Abstract: In this paper, a numerical study is presented for the 3D mathematical model of bioconvective boundary layer flow having nanoparticles and motile microorganisms on a curved sheet under isothermal conditions. Using an appropriate choice of similarity transformations, the problem reduces to coupled ordinary nonlinear equations, and this system is then treated with bvp4c (a MATLAB-based solver) to get the desired solution with good accuracy. The repercussion of distinct important dimensionless numbers such as thermophoresis, buoyancy ratio, Lewis number, and Brownian number on the velocity, temperature, and volume fraction of nanoparticles is presented graphically and is discussed in context with their importance on flow dynamics. Moreover, the physical impact of various parameters on motile microorganism density, the local Sherwood number, the local Nusselt number, and the local skin friction coefficients is analyzed and presented in tables. Qualitative analysis also reveals that the Brownian motion parameter, Peclet number, and Schmidt number have an inverse impact on the density microorganisms.
