Abstract

Similarity solutions to the incompressible axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations have been obtained for the case of laminar flow in porous rotating annuli. The equations are reduced to a nonlinear ordinary differential system which is solved by a parametric differentiation method. The effect of radius ratio, radial Reynolds number, and the ratio of the radial flow rates at the two walls is investigated. For net injection the solutions are unique and tend to known asymptotic solutions. For net suction, regions of reversed flow are present and a multiplicity of solutions is encountered.
