Abstract
The present study provides the heat transfer analysis of a viscous fluid in the presence of bioconvection with a Caputo fractional derivative. The unsteady governing equations are solved by Laplace after using a dimensional analysis approach subject to the given constraints on the boundary. The impact of physical parameters can be seen through a graphical illustration. It is observed that the maximum decline in bioconvection and velocity can be attained for smaller values of the fractional parameter. The fractional approach can be very helpful in controlling the boundary layers of the fluid properties for different values of time. Additionally, it is observed that the model obtained with generalized constitutive laws predicts better memory than the model obtained with artificial replacement. Further, these results are compared with the existing literature to verify the validity of the present results.
