Approximate analytic solutions for a two-dimensional mathematicalmodel of a packed-bed electrode using the Adomian decomposition method

In this paper we solve a system of second-order partial differential equations with non-standard boundary conditions. This system of equations is a mathematical model that describes distributions of the overpotential and reactant concentration in a working packed-bed electrode for an electrochemical reactor. To ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for this model we choose standard instead of non-standard boundary conditions, and obtain approximate analytic solutions in the form of a series that rapidly converges using the Adomian decomposition method. The method is easily implemented using the symbol operations of scientific computational software such as MATLAB.     

Adomian decomposition method for nonlinear differential-difference equations

We extend Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to find the approximate solutions for the nonlinear differential-difference equations (NDDEs), such as the discretized mKdV lattice equation, the discretized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Toda lattice equation. By comparing the approximate solutions with the exact analytical solutions, we find the extend method for NDDEs is of good accuracy.     

Approximate analytical solutions for a mathematical model of a tubular packed-bed catalytic reactor using an Adomian decomposition method

In this paper, a mathematical model of a tubular packed-bed catalytic reactor, which is modeled by a system of strongly nonlinear second-order partial differential equations with incompatible boundary conditions, will be solved. By properly using the boundary conditions and correctly choosing the solution search direction, approximate analytic solutions for the model can be obtained by the Adomian decomposition method. When the values of the dimensionless parameters in the system are assigned within a suitable range, the solutions describe objectively the distributions of the temperature and key reactant concentration in the reactor.

Finding exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs using the natural decomposition method

In this work, we implement the natural decomposition method (NDM) to solve nonlinear partial differential equations. We apply the NDM to obtain exact solutions for three applications of nonlinear partial differential equations. The new method is a combination of the natural transform method and the Adomian decomposition method. We prove some of the properties that are related to the natural transform method. The results are compared with existing solutions obtained by other methods, and one can conclude that the NDM is easy to use and efficient. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adomian decomposition method used for solving nonlinear pull-in behavior in electrostatic micro-actuators

Nonlinear pull-in behavior for different electrostatic micro-actuators were simulated in this study. The Adomian decomposition method was employed to overcome the difficulty in the nonlinear equation of motion. Because no iteration is required in solving the nonlinear deformation, the decomposition method is one of the most efficient methods for evaluating the unstable pull-in behavior of an electrostatic micro-actuator. To investigate the feasibility of applying the Adomian decomposition method in dealing with the nonlinear deflection equation in the micro-actuator problem, different types of micro-actuators, e.g., fixed-fixed beam actuator and cantilever beam actuator were studied and analyzed. The calculated results agreed well with those from the literature.

This study concerns with the development of explicit expressions of friction factor for the flow of Bingham fluids in smooth pipes in both laminar and turbulent regimes by using a powerful analytical technique, i.e. Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and one of its variant namely restarted ADM (RADM). The results from these expressions match very well with those obtained by well-known correlations and are found to be valid for all practical ranges. It is hoped that the derived expressions will be useful for the researchers working in the area.     

Accuracy of the Adomian decomposition method applied to the Lorenz system

In this paper, the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is applied to the famous Lorenz system. The ADM yields an analytical solution in terms of a rapidly convergent infinite power series with easily computable terms. Comparisons between the decomposition solutions and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta (RK4) numerical solutions are made for various time steps. In particular we look at the accuracy of the ADM as the Lorenz system changes from a non-chaotic system to a chaotic one.     

Free vibration analysis of stepped beams by using Adomian decomposition method

The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is employed in this paper to investigate the free vibrations of a stepped Euler-Bernoulli beam consisting of two uniform sections. Each section is considered a substructure which can be modeled using ADM. By using boundary condition and continuity condition equations, the dimensionless natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes can be easily obtained simultaneously. The computed results for different boundary conditions, step ratios and step locations are presented. Comparing the results using ADM to those given in the literature, excellent agreement is achieved.

Revisit on partial solutions in the Adomian decomposition method: Solving heat and wave equations

The Adomian decomposition method is considered in application to heat and wave equations. The so-called partial solution technique is used. It is shown that the fundamental equation of the method is well defined only for certain types of boundary conditions. In cases involving inhomogeneous boundary conditions, improper results may be obtained by former method. This paper presents a further insight into partial solutions in the decomposition method, and the resolution of such cases.
