Abstract
In this article, we applied the variational iteration method along with a Padé approximation (VIM-Padé) to obtain the analytical approximate solution for the motion of a spherical particle in a plane Couette flow. We studied the effects of different flow parameters on the velocity field. It is examined that the present analytical technique is extremely efficient and easy to apply for such a problem.
