Abstract： The third-order nonlinear partial differential equation modelling the unsteady boundary-layer flows caused by an impulsively stretching flat plate is solved by using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The ADM yields analytic solution in the form of a rapidly convergent infinite series with easily computable terms. The series solution using the ADM for the unsteady flows is presented for the first time.
