This study explores the theoretical behavior of hybrid nanoparticles (Cu-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) in two-dimensional peristaltic blood flow through an inclined, catheterized artery, accounting for outer wall slip in an uncertain environment. The non-Newtonian Jeffrey nanofluid model is employed, incorporating nonlinear thermal radiation and an externally induced magnetic field to capture novel aspects of nanofluid behavior. However, uncertainty in velocity and temperature patterns may arise due to variations in nanoparticle volume fraction, which cannot be ignored. To address this, these distributions are analyzed within a fuzzy framework, treating them as triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Within this framework, the dimensionless nonlinear flow equations are converted into fuzzy differential equations by introducing symmetrical TFNs, where the nanoparticle volume fractions serve as fuzzy parameters. The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is then applied to derive fuzzy semi analytical solutions for temperature and velocity profiles using a double parametric approach for fuzzy numbers. Additionally, a comprehensive graphical analysis is presented, incorporating triangular fuzzy representations in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) frameworks for the fuzzy solutions of temperature and velocity profiles. The obtained fuzzy solutions are validated by comparing a special case of the present solution with existing precise solutions. An in-depth analysis of key flow characteristics such as wall shear stress, the Nusselt number, and the skin friction coefficient is conducted for the special case under various emerging parameters. It is observed that as the Darcy parameter increases, both the upper and lower bounds of fuzzy velocity improve. Meanwhile, an increase in the thermal radiation parameter leads to a significant drop in the fuzzy temperature profile due to enhanced heat dissipation through radiation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"206 ","pages":"Pages 280-300"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146014493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
