Variational iteration method for solving three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of flow between two stretchable disks

The similarity transform for the steady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of flow between two stretchable disks gives a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In this article, the variational iteration method was used for solving these equations. The results have been compared with the numerical results. This article depicts that the VIM is an efficient and powerful method for solving nonlinear differential equations. This method is applicable to strongly and weakly nonlinear problems. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010
