Abstract

Potential flow past a porous body of arbitrary shape with constant physical permeability k0, as well as the flow in the corresponding porous medium, are analysed by means of a pair of linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. As an example for verification of the proposed general method, the case of a two-dimensional porous circular cylinder is worked out in detail.
