TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the natural convective boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate and found that the reduced Nusselt number is a decreasing function of each of Nr, Nb and Nt.

TL;DR: In this article, the Cheng-Minkowycz problem of natural convection past a vertical plate, in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid, is studied analytically.

TL;DR: In this article, the onset of convection in a horizontal layer of a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is studied analytically, and it is found that the critical thermal Rayleigh number can be reduced or increased by a substantial amount depending on whether the basic nanoparticle distribution is top-heavy or bottom-heavy, by the presence of the nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of natural convective boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate is revisited and the model, which includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis, is revised so that the particle fraction on the boundary is passively rather than actively controlled.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear instability analysis is used to solve the problem of the onset of bioconvection in a horizontal layer filled with a nanofluid that also contains gyrotactic microorganisms.
