J.S.V.R. Krishna Prasad ^[3] | S. R. Gaikwad ^[2]

Abstract: In this paper, we study the low Reynolds number steady flow in a tube of varying cross section with permeable wall. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian. The wall assumed to be rigid and permeable. The wall permeability is assumed to be a function of axial distance and obeys Starlings Law. we are interested to analyze the effects of Reynolds number and permeability on flow characteristics when the initial flux in the tube is prescribed. The effect of variable permeability of the wall on various parameters on flow characteristics is discussed.

Keywords: Reynolds number, Incompressible fluid, Newtonian fluid, Starlings Law
