Abstract
A steady laminar flow through a co-cylinder porous pipe with one plugged end was investigated theoretically to obtain velocity, pressure and shear stress distributions.
An integral momentum equation and the Darcy's law for flow through the porous wall were solved numerically by the Runge-kutta method.
As the fluid is injected from the outer wall into the porous tube, the fluid in the inner tube is accelerated from rest at the plugged end to a fully-developed velocity profile at the exit of the porous tube. It was found that the coefficient of the wall shear stress and the dimensionless pressure drop increases with decreasing Reynolds number.
