The current exploration reveals the unsteady three‐dimensional flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a bidirectional oscillatory stretching surface. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis phenomenon has been scrutinized by utilizing Buongiorno's nanofluid model. The heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption features. Furthermore, chemical reaction and magnetic effects are also deliberated. The flow has been generated by a bidirectional periodically accelerated heated surface. The formulated nonlinear problem is condensed into a dimensionless form via apposite transformations, and then analytic series solution is computed via homotopic technique. Comprehensive graphical evaluations for numerous prominent flow constants on associated profiles are performed. In addition, the tabulated numerical calculations for the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also presented. The current analysis reported that both components of velocities have an increasing tendency for higher Deborah number, whereas an adverse influence is observed for the ratio of relaxation and retardation times parameter. Moreover, the concentration profile diminishes for the increasing variation of the chemical reaction parameter.
