Abstract: 
The aim of this study is to numerically obtain the solution to an unsteady incompressible fluid confined between two parallel plates with constant velocity. The nonlinear partial differential equation governing the flow is first converted to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation using similarity transformation and solved using the combination of Laplace transform and Adomian decomposition method (LADM). The model parameters affecting the flow geometry is analysed and presented in tables and graphs. The method produces an accurate, elegant, computable, and approximately convergent solution which gives great insight but with less mathematical sophistication.
