The study investigates nanoparticles modeled using a Levenberg–Marquardt neural network (LM-NN).

The research methodology includes modeling blood flow as pulsatile within a parallel plate channel. It also incorporates porous media to simulate foamy structures. The study addresses heat transfer dynamics and chemically reactive species. It uses nanoparticle concentration equations that account for diffusion, convection, and chemical reaction processes. The study concludes that combining machine learning with fluid dynamics modeling greatly improves the understanding of drug delivery efficiency. It also highlights its impact on physiological factors. Heat transfer, Reynolds number, and parameters like Darcy and Forchheimer are vital for optimizing the delivery of therapeutic agents. Magnetic fields and Schmidt numbers are crucial for regulating blood flow and enhancing treatment outcomes. These insights could lead to improved treatment protocols and better management of blood flow within the cardiovascular system, particularly in areas targeted for cancer treatment.
