Abstract

A general theoretical model is introduced to calculate flow distribution and pressure drop in a channel with porous wall. Analytical solution of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, based on the varying flow coefficients, was obtained, and comparison was made with the solution with flow coefficients. Predicted flow distribution agrees well with experimental data.
