Abstract

Exact solutions are obtained for the following three problems in which the Brinkman filtration equations are used: laminar fluid flow between parallel plane walls, one of which is rigid while the other is a plane layer of saturated porous medium, motion of a plane porous layer between parallel layers of viscous fluid, and laminar fluid flow in a cylindrical channel bounded by an annular porous layer.
