the presence of van der waals (vdw) force can lead to mechanical instability in freestanding nano-scale actuators. most of the previous researches in this area have exclusively focused on modeling the instability in actuators with one actuating components. while, less attention has been paid to actuators consist of two actuating components. herein, the effect of the vdw force on the instability...

Although the decomposition method and its modified form were used during the last two decades by many authors to investigate various scientific models, a little attention was devoted for their applications in the field of fluid mechanics. In this paper, the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is implemented for solving the nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) describing the peristaltic ...

Approximated solutions to two-dimensional and axisymmetric jet impinging flows have been presented here. Assumptions have been made to reduce the related full Navier-Stokes equations to a non-linear ordinary differential equation. The Admomian decomposition method (ADM) has been employed to obtain an approximated solution to this differential equation. A trial and error strategy has been used t...
