SummaryThe author has previously discussed the flow in a two-dimensional channel with porous walls through which fluid is uniformly injected or extracted. Yuan has given a solution for high injection in which certain derivatives of the axial velocity become infinite at the centre of the channel. Physically this means that there must be a viscous layer at the centre of the channel and that Yuan’s solution is ignoring the shear layer. In this paper the complete solution for large injection is obtained by the method of inner and outer expansions and therefore includes the viscous layer. The resulting series solutions are confirmed by numerical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
