Copper nanoparticles blood flow analysis through a catheterized mild stenotic artery with a thrombosis is presented. The system of coupled governing equations are prescribed and then simplified under mild stenosis assumptions. The governing equations are solved exactly, and then expressions for temperature, axial velocity, stream function, wall shear stress and resistance impedance are obtained generally for metallic nanoparticles blood flow. Due to the importance of copper nanoparticles in biomedicine, the results for Cu-blood flow model are introduced. The effect of various pertinent flow and geometric parameters on copper-blood flow features in the stenotic region are illustrated and discussed through graphs for catheter and tube models. Blood trapping is introduced graphically for numerous flow parameters. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
