Abstract

In this paper, the modified decomposition method (MDM) for solving the nonlinear two-dimensional viscous flow equations is presented. This study investigates the problem of laminar, isothermal, incompressible and viscous flow in a rectangular domain bounded by two moving porous walls, which enable the fluid to enter or exit during successive expansions or contractions. We first transform the original two-dimensional viscous flow problem into an equivalent fourth-order boundary value problem (BVP), then solve the problem by the MDM. The figures and tables clearly show high accuracy of the method to solve two-dimensional viscous flow.
