The analysis was based on a kind of analytical method, called Variational Iteration Method (VIM). To illustrate the capability of the approach, some numerical examples were given and the propagation and the error of solutions were shown in comparison to those of exact solution. In clear conclusion, the approach was efficient and capable to obtain the analytical approximate solution of this set of wave equations while these solutions could straightforwardly show some facts of the described process deeply such as the propagation. This method can be easily extended to other nonlinear wave equations and so can be found widely applicable in this field of science.}, journal = {American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
