In the present work, dynamical aspects of boundary layer flow of hydromagnetic fluid (suspended with microorganisms) are investigated near the stagnation region over a stretchable heated permeable sheet. Viscosity is taken as a linear function of temperature where the flow field accommodates diffusion processes due to temperature and concentration gradients (Soret/Dufour numbers). A system of partial differential equations is set up for the mathematical description of the related bio-physical phenomenon. Unit free conversions and analysis of symmetry are implemented to obtain nonlinear dimensional free differential equations setup which can be solved numerically via the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme. Results in the form of pictorial and tabulation representation reveal that velocity profile increases when viscosity is a function of temperature difference, but the velocity profile influences the fluid temperature in the opposite direction.
