Abstract
A uniform potential flow past a porous circular cylinder with a core of different permeability is discussed. The porous circular cylinder is slightly deformed whose radius is \({r=r_1(1+\epsilon \cos m \theta)}\) , where \({\mid\epsilon\mid\ll 1}\) and m is a positive integer. Here r, θ are the polar coordinates and r1 is the characteristic radius of the cylinder. The drag force exerted by the exterior flow on the surface of the cylinder is calculated and it depends on the thickness of the porous material and on the permeabilities of the two porous regions. As special cases, porous cylinder with hollow core, rigid core, and deformed cylinder is discussed.
