Numerous　rheological　examinations　attested　that　many　products　employed　frequently　in　our　daily　life　exhibit　a　thixotropic　rheological　behavior　with　a　shear-thinning　tendency　(e.g.,　tooth-paste,　hair　gels,　ketchup,　gypsum,　and　paints).　Motivated　by　the　importance　of　nanofluids　in　the　thermal　and　mass　transfer　processes　and　their　rheological　trends,　this　article　aimed　to　analyze　convective　boundary　layer　flows　of　radiating　thixotropic　nanofluids　over　a　horizontal　stretching　surface　by　considering　the　retardational　influences　of　Darcy-Forchheimer　and　Lorentz　forces　and　invoking　the　effective　contribution　of　Brownian　and　thermophoresis　diffusions　in　the　energy　and　concentration　equations.　By　adopting　the　boundary　layer　approximations　along　with　the　zero　mass　flux　and　convective　conditions,　the　conservation　equations　of　the　present　non-homogeneous　nanofluid　flow　model　are　derived　mathematically　in　the　form　of　partial　differential　equations　(PDEs)　based　on　Buongiorno＇s　approach.　After　converting　the　leading　PDEs　into　a　set　of　nonlinear　coupled　ordinary　differential　equations　(ODEs)　via　feasible　local　similarity　alterations,　the　resulting　highly　nonlinear　system　of　governing　ODEs　is　then　solved　numerically　using　an　efficient　differential　quadrature　algorithm.　As　findings,　it　is　found　that　the　thixotropy　feature　reinforces　the　nanofluid　motion.　Besides,　the　significant　impact　of　the　radiative　term　is　noticed　in　the　heat　flux　rate.　In　contrast,　the　induced　Darcy-Forchhemier　and　Lorentz　forces　impact　unfavorably　on　the　nanofluid　flow　and　consequently　alter　the　intensity　of　drag　forces.　Further　results　are　provided　also　graphically　and　tabularly.
