In 1942, Burgers [1] observed that in cylindrical polar coordinates, the steady Navier-Stokes equation governing viscous incompressible fluid motion can be reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations if the velocity components vr, vo and vz are assumed to have a special form.

With the Navier-Stokes Equation in Cartesian form (in absence of body forces), Laplace Transforms provides a simple approach towards solving the unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over a suddenly accelerated flat plate. On comparing the results between  Laplace Transforms and similarity methods, it reveals that Laplace Transforms is simple and effective.

This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining higher approximations to the flow past a sphere and a circular cylinder than those represented by the well-known solutions of Stokes and Oseen. Since the perturbation theory arising from the consideration of small non-zero Reynolds numbers is a singular one, the problem is largely that of devising suitable techniques for taking this singularity into account when expanding the solution for small Reynolds numbers.The technique adopted is as follows. Separate, locally valid (in general), expansions of the stream function are developed for the regions close to, and far from, the obstacle. Reasons are presented for believing that these ‘Stokes’ and ‘Oseen’ expansions are, respectively, of the forms $\Sigma \;f_n(R) \psi_n(r, \theta)$ and $\Sigma \; F_n(R) \Psi_n(R_r, \theta)$ where (r, θ) are spherical or cylindrical polar coordinates made dimensionless with the radius of the obstacle, R is the Reynolds number, and $f_{(n+1)}|f_n$ and $F_{n+1}|F_n$ vanish with R. Substitution of these expansions in the Navier-Stokes equation then yields a set of differential equations for the coefficients ψn and Ψn, but only one set of physical boundary conditions is applicable to each expansion (the no-slip conditions for the Stokes expansion, and the uniform-stream condition for the Oseen expansion) so that unique solutions cannot be derived immediately. However, the fact that the two expansions are (in principle) both derived from the same exact solution leads to a ‘matching’ procedure which yields further boundary conditions for each expansion. It is thus possible to determine alternately successive terms in each expansion.The leading terms of the expansions are shown to be closely related to the original solutions of Stokes and Oseen, and detailed results for some further terms are obtained.

A similarity solution is found which describes the flow impinging on a flat wall at an arbitrary angle of incidence. The technique is similar to a method used by Jeffery (1915) and discussed more recently by Peregrine (1981).

We have proposed in this  research a new scheme to find analytical  approximating solutions for Navier-Stokes equation  of  one  dimension. The  new  methodology depends on combining  Adomian  decomposition  and Homotopy perturbation methods  with the splitting time scheme for differential operators . The new methodology is applied on two problems of  the test: The first has an exact solution  while  the other one has no  exact solution. The numerical results we  obtained  from solutions of two problems, have good convergent  and high  accuracy   in comparison with the two traditional Adomian  decomposition  and Homotopy  perturbationmethods .
