Abstract

We consider a coupled system of viscous Burgers' equations with appropriate initial values using the decomposition method. In this method, the solution is calculated in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable components. The method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory. The decomposition series solution of the problem is quickly obtained by observing the existence of the self-canceling “noise” terms where the sum of components vanishes in the limit.
