| contents | Phototaxis refers to the directed swimming response influenced by the sensed light intensity in microorganisms. Positive phototaxis involves motion toward the light source, while negative phototaxis entails motion away from it. This study explores the phototactic bioconvection in a suspension of anisotropic scattering phototactic algae, illuminated by diffuse flux without direct collimated flux. The basic state is characterized by zero fluid flow, with the balance between upward and downward swimming due to positive and negative phototaxis, respectively, counteracted by microorganism diffusion. The paper conducts a thorough numerical analysis of linear stability, placing particular emphasis on the impact of forward scattering. The onset of bioconvection manifests either through a stationary mode or an oscillatory mode. The transition between these modes is observed with varying anisotropic coefficients for specific parameter values. |
