On theories of natural decomposition method applied to system of nonlinear differential equations in fluid mechanics

Abstract

In shallow waters, the Wu-Zhang (WZ) system describes the (1+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave in two horizontal directions, which is important for the engineering community. This paper presents proofs for various theorems and shows that the natural decomposition method (NDM) solves systems of linear and nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations under proper initial conditions, such as the Wu-Zhang system. We use a combination of two methods, namely the natural transform method to deal with the linear terms and the Adomian decomposition method to deal with the nonlinear terms. Several examples of linear and nonlinear systems (ODEs and PDEs) are given, including the Wu-Zhang (WZ) system. The present approach, which has numerous applications in the science and engineering fields, is a great alternative to the many existing methods for solving systems of differential equations. It also holds great promise for additional real-world applications.
