NEW ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL NAVIER–STOKES EQUATIONS
The purpose of this study is to implement a new analytical method (the DTM-Padé technique, which is a combination of the differential transform method (DTM) and the Padé approximation) for solving Navier–Stokes equations. In this letter, we will consider the DTM, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and the Padé approximant for finding analytical solutions of the three-dimensional viscous flow near an infinite rotating disk. The solutions are compared with the numerical (fourth-order Runge–Kutta) solution. The results illustrate that the application of the Padé approximants in the DTM and HPM is an appropriate method in solving the Navier–Stokes equations with the boundary conditions at infinity. On the other hand, the convergence of the obtained series from DTM-Padé is greater than HPM-Padé.
