An axisymmetric viscous flow, generated by two large parallel plates slowly approaching each other is investigated. The steady nonlinear governing equations are converted into a fourth-order nonlinear differential equation using integrability condition. The resulting nonlinear boundary value problem is solved using quintic B-spline collocation and Sinc-collocation methods. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the techniques and a comparison is made with existing results in the literature.
