  In this work, approximate analytical solutions to the lid-driven square cavity flow problem, which satisfied two-dimensional unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, are presented using the kinetically reduced local Navier-Stokes equations. Reduced differential transform method and perturbation-iteration algorithm are applied to solve this problem. The convergence analysis was discussed for both methods. The numerical results of both methods are given at some Reynolds numbers and low Mach numbers, and compared with results of earlier studies in the review of the literatures. These two methods are easy and fast to implement, and the results are close to each other and other numerical results, so it can be said that these methods are 
  useful in finding approximate analytical solutions to the unsteady incompressible
   flow problems at low Mach numbers.

Introduction</title><p>Fluid flow is one of the most important engineering phenomena that have received widespread attention in theoretical and practical scientific research. Many of these studies focus on simulated mathematical models which represent these phenomena. Therefore, the equations of Navier-Stokes, which are the basic model for describing the movement of fluid, have received considerable attention from researchers to find their analytical and numerical solutions.</p><p>In this work, unsteady viscous incompressible flows characterized by two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are studied. The non-dimensional momentum and continuity equations have the following form</p><p>u t = − ( u u x + v u y + p x ) + 1 R e ( u x x + u y y ) , v t = − ( u v x + v v y + p y ) + 1 R e ( v x x + v y y ) , (1.1)</p><p>and</p><p>u x + v y = 0, (1.2)</p><p>where t is the physical time, u ( x , y , t ) and v ( x , y , t ) are the fluid velocity components, p ( x , y , t ) is the pressure, and Re is the Reynolds number. Since, the Navier-Stokes equations are nonlinear partial differential equations and there is no explicit equation for calculating pressure, these equations are difficult to solve, so many studies have suggested the alternative thermodynamic description of incompressible fluid flows. One of these alternative formulas is the kinetically reduced local Navier-Stokes (KRLNS) equations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref5">5</xref>] which is obtained by replacing the pressure by</p><p>p = g + u 2 + v 2 2 , (1.3)</p><p>and the continuity equation by</p><p>g t = − 1 ( M a ) 2 ( u x + v y ) + 1 R e ( g x x + g y y ) , (1.4)</p><p>where Ma is the Mach number and g ( x , y , t ) is the grand potential. The time scale in INS equations is related to that of KRLNS equations; t K R L N S ( τ ) = M a &#215; t N S . Then, the system of equations of KRLNS has the following form</p><p>u t = − ( 2 u u x + v v x + v u y + g x ) + 1 R e ( u x x + u y y ) , v t = − ( u v x + u u y + 2 v v y + g y ) + 1 R e ( v x x + v y y ) , g t = − 1 ( M a ) 2 ( u x + v y ) + 1 R e ( g x x + g y y ) . (1.5)</p><p>The KRlNS equations suggested in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref1">1</xref>] of the reduced equations for the grand potential and the fluid momentum were derived from the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in order to present the thermodynamic description of incompressible fluid flows at low Mach numbers. The two-dimensional KRLNS system is simplified and compared with a Chorin’s artificial compressibility method for steady state computation of flow in two-dimensional lid-driven cavity and Taylor-Green vortex flow in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref2">2</xref>] . In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref3">3</xref>] , KRLNS equations were applied to two-dimensional simulation of doubly periodic shear layers and decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence, where the central difference scheme is used for the spatial discrimination and four stage. Runge-Kutta method is utilized for the time integration. High order approach of the KRLNS equations was applied to two-dimensional numerical simulations of Womersley problem, doubly periodic shear layers and three-dimensional decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref5">5</xref>] .</p><p>The lid-driven cavity problem refers to the flow in a box cavity with no-slip at the walls, one or more which move at constant speed. It has been used extensively as a benchmark case for the study of computational methods to solve Navier-Stokes equations, because the simplicity of its geometry and boundary conditions. Numerous literature studies have offered the solutions for this problem by using the different numerical methods in rectangular or square cavities. For example, in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref6">6</xref>] , the implicit cell-vertex finite volume method was described to solve the steady and unsteady two-dimensional lid-driven cavity problem at high Reynolds numbers. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref7">7</xref>] , Chebyshev-collocation method in space is introduced with Adams-Bashforth backward-Euler scheme for the time integration to calculate the solution of three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flows. The finite element scheme based on the Galerkin method of weighted residuals of unsteady laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a lid driven cavity is performed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref8">8</xref>] . The vorticity-stream formulation of the Navier-Stokes equation with the strong-stability-preserving Runge-Kutta (SSPRK (5, 4)) scheme in very fine grid mesh was used for solving lid driven cavity at high Reynolds number in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref9">9</xref>] . For the problem of flow inside a square cavity with constant velocity, the finite volume method with numerical approximations of second-order accuracy and multiple Richardson extrapolations is utilized in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref10">10</xref>] . The compact finite difference approximation is developed for non-uniform orthogonal Cartesian grids in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref11">11</xref>] for solving the stream function-velocity formulation of the steady two dimensional incompressible lid-driven square cavity flow problem. The numerical simulations of two-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in a four-sided lid-driven rectangular domain have been preformed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref12">12</xref>] , where the quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) scheme of finite volume methods was used and semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations (SIMPLE algorithm) was adopted to compute the numerical solutions of the flow variables.</p><p>The main aim of this study is to obtain the approximate analytical solutions for two-dimensional lid-driven square cavity flow problem, since most of the research focused on the numerical solutions for this problem. Reduced differential transform method (RDTM) and perturbation-iteration algorithm (PIA) are used for this purpose for several reasons. The first reason is that both methods have not previously been applied to resolve this problem. Secondly, these methods can directly be applied to KRLNS equations. Moreover, these methods can reduce the size of the calculations and at the same time maintain the accuracy of the numerical solution.</p><p>We have organized this paper into seven sections, of which this introduction is the first. In Section 2 and 3, we describe the reduced differential transform method and perturbation-iteration algorithm, and applied them to KRLNS equations. We derived the condition of convergence for both methods (Section 4). We then present the approximate analytical solutions for two-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow, which are obtained by applying differential transform method and perturbation-iteration algorithm (Section 5). Next, we introduce the numerical results and compare these results with other works (Section 6). The last Section summarizes the major findings of this study.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Reduced Differential Transform Method (RDTM)</title><p>The RDTM was first introduced by Keskin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref13">13</xref>] .

Perturbation-Iteration Algorithm (PIA)</title><p>Perturbation methods are important analytical methods which have been used to construct approximate analytical solutions of algebraic equations, differential equations, and integro-differential equations. The main limitation of using the perturbation methods is to install a small auxiliary parameter in the equation. For this reason, the solutions of these methods are restricted by validity range of physical parameters, so many of perturbation techniques have been suggested by several authors. PIA is one of the techniques which was proposed by Pakdemirli and Boyac in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref28">28</xref>] , and used a combination of perturbation expansions and Taylor series expansions to construct an iteration scheme for using to generate root finding algorithms. It is applied by many authors to get the approximate analytical solution for differential equations. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref29">29</xref>] , PIA was applied to obtain the solution of Bratu-type equations. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref30">30</xref>] , PIA was utilized to find the solution first order differential equations. This algorithm was tested on three nonlinear heat equations in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref31">31</xref>] . Moreover, PIA was generalized to an arbitrary number of first-order coupled equations in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref32">32</xref>] . It was applied to Fredholm and Volterra integral equations in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref33">33</xref>] . Also, in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref34">34</xref>] , PIA was proposed for solving the Riccati differential equation. It was developed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref35">35</xref>] to obtain the solutions of Lotka-Volterra differential equations. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref36">36</xref>] , some types of fractional differential equation systems were solved by using this method. PIA with Laplace transform method was combined in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref37">37</xref>] to solve Newell-Whitehead-Segel equations. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89092-ref38">38</xref>] , PIA is used for solving the fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation and compared with the residual power series method. By reviewing the previous literature, we have not found any research that has used this method to find a solution to the two-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow problem and which is an important reason to use this method to solve this problem.</p><p>In general, PIA is obtained by taking different numbers of terms in the perturbation expansions and different order of correction terms in the Taylor series expansions. Therefore, the perturbation-iteration algorithm is called PIA(m,n) where the m is the number of the correction terms in the perturbation expansion and n is the highest order derivative term in the Taylor series such that m should always be less than or equal to n.</p><p>To obtain approximate analytical solutions for two-dimensions Navier-Stokes equations, PIA (1, 1) will be applied to KRLNS equations and which will be referred to this article by (KPIA). Firstly, we write Equation (1.5) as follows:</p><p>F 1 ( u , v , u t , u x , u y , v x , g x , u x x , u y y , ϵ ) = u t + ϵ ( 2 u u x + v v x + v u y + g x − 1 R e ( u x x + u y y ) ) ,</p><p>F 2 ( u , v , v t , u y , v x , v y , g y , v x x , v y y , ϵ ) = v t + ϵ ( u v x + u u y + 2 v v y + g y − 1 R e ( v x x + v y y ) ) ,</p><p>F 3 ( g t , u x , v y , g x x , g y y , ϵ ) = g t + ϵ ( 1 ( M a ) 2 ( u x + v y ) − 1 R e ( g x x + g y y ) ) , (3.1)</p><p>where ϵ is a small perturbation parameter.

Results and Discussion</title><p>In this section, we introduce the numerical computations of velocity components u, v, vorticity function w and stream function ψ , which have been obtained by the application of KRDTM and KPIA.

By comparing the results of these methods, we observe they are close to each other for the different values of Reynolds numbers.

By comparison, we note that our solutions are remarkably good, and these results represent solutions for the second iteration step.

We note that the calculated errors are small for all values of the Reynolds number and are not affected by the number of grid points. Also, the approximate solutions of velocity in the two directions at cavity center, which are obtained by KRDTM and KPIA, are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref> at t = 2 and R e = 10 for three different values of Mach numbers, and in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref> at R e = 1 and M a = 0.01 for three different time levels. We observe that the results of KRDTM and KPIA methods at M a = 0.01 are better than the results at other Mach numbers. Thus, the numerical results of both methods are good and close to each other at low values of Mach numbers.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>7. Conclusion</title><p>In this paper, we applied the reduced differential transform method and the perturbation-iteration algorithm on the kinetically reduced local Navier-Stokes equations to find approximate solutions to the problem of lid-driven square cavity flow. The calculations in this study show that KRDTM and KPIA are fast and</p><p>successful techniques and yield remarkably good results to solve unsteady viscous incompressible flow problems at low Mach numbers. Therefore, the application of KRDTM and KPIA could be expanded to include various and multi-dimensions of flow problems. In addition, these methods can be combined with other methods to increase the accuracy of solutions.</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors declare no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.</p></sec><sec id="s9"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Al-Saif, A.-S.J. and Harfash, A.J.
