where , p , , and t are the density, pressure,
kinematic viscosity, and time. The channel walls of
interest regress only in the transverse direction and their
separation is a function of time only. Under the porous
wall stipulation, the fluid is injected or extorted
uniformly and orthogonally through the channel walls
at a velocity
w
v . The latter is proportional to the
expanding wall surface velocity. The boundary
conditions necessary for solving the continuity and
momentum equations are:

The injection coefficient A is a measure of the porosity
of the wall and can be utilized as a control parameter in
the final solution.

At this point, the Stokes stream function can be
introduced. This allows replacing the two velocity
components by one single function
u

By definition of the stream function, the continuity
equation is automatically satisfied and thus no longer
useful in determining .
A new variable can now be removed at the expense
of introducing another. In fact, the vorticity transport
equation for the given geometry can be arrived at by
taking the curl of the momentum equation. This
operation eliminates the pressure from the momentum
equation and introduces, in its stead, the flow vorticity.

III. Mathematical Procedure
A. Similar Solution in Space
A similar solution with respect to x can be
developed due to mass conservation, since the variation
of the channel height is uniform along the axial
direction. Following Bermans classic approach, and in
view of the boundary conditions represented by Eqs. (4)
-(5), a similar solution can be assumed to be of the form
( ) ( , ) xf a F t = , where
y
a
= (12)
and ( , ) F t is independent of the axial coordinate.
Placing Eq. (12) into Eq. (8), the axial and transverse
velocities can be expressed as a function of F :
( )
x
u f a F
a
= , and ( ) ( ) , v f a F t = (13)
where / F F
= , and ( ) , v F t
a
= . (14)
Noting that the transverse velocity v is independent of
x , the vorticity equation simply reads
u
y
(15)
and Eq. (3) will then be 0
yx
p = . Upon substitution of
Eq. (15) and Eq. (1) into the vorticity transport
expression given by Eq. (10), one obtains
yt yx yy yyy
u uu vu u + + = . (16)
By inserting the velocity expression from Eq. (14) into
Eq. (16), we can develop a differential equation for our
function F . The result is

Allowing 0

a method of arriving at Eq. (17). The boundary
conditions given by Eq. (4)-(5) should then be updated
to account for the normalization:
0, 0; 0,
0, ; 1 .

(19)
By equating the expression we had before in Eq. (4),
v Aa = ! , with the expression for the transverse
velocity in Eq. (14) and inserting the expansion ratio
where applicable, we recognize that our function F is a
product of the injection coefficient A and the
expansion ratio . Since this occurs at the permeable
wall, we can write /
w
R A av = = where R is
the cross-flow Reynolds number.
B. Similar Solution in Space and Time
A similar solution with respect to space and time can
now be developed. If our function F is assumed to be
dependent on only and that is constant, it follows

with

be obtained. This is given by

Now, an ODE for the function F can be realized by
direct integration of Eq. (17)

where a prime replaces / d d and K is the constant of
integration. The necessary boundary conditions

C. Numerical Solution
Since we have four boundary conditions in Eq. (24)
that are imposed on Eq. (23), it is convenient to
eliminate the integration constant K by differentiating
Eq. (23) with respect to . The resulting governing
ODE becomes:
( ) 3 0

F FF F F F + + + = . (25)
This can be solved numerically by applying a
shooting method coupled with fourth order Runge-
Kutta integration. The procedure adopted in resolving
the function ( ) F is described next.

where t and k are initial guesses introduced as

The boundary conditions become

Based on Newtons Method, an algorithm for
calculating the zeros * t and * k of Eq. (30) can be
developed. The algorithm requires updating initial

2. Runge-Kutta Solution Composition
The shooting method described above was chosen for
its ease of conversion into a Runge-Kutta solution set.
Twelve variables are chosen to represent y , Z , W ,
and their respective derivatives out to the third order.
Differentiating each of these functions and performing
the appropriate substitutions provides the solution set.
The Runge-Kutta method is an effective approach in
this application since it permits us to enter the
prescribed boundary conditions only once for all twelve
variables. Of course, our solution requires the input of
initial guesses for the boundary condition values of t

IV. Flow-Field Characterization
A. Non-dimensional Parameters
Once we obtain a numerical solution for the function
( ) F , the dimensionless stream function and axial and
transverse velocities will be available. The stream
function can be normalized at 1 = (at the wall) by
considering Eq. (24), which then suggests letting
( ) 1 / /

xF a xR a = = . Consequently,
w
F
R
= . (41)
Additionally, the mean axial velocity in Eq. (7)
becomes
m
u F
u R
= (42)
for any axial position. Finally, the velocity at the wall,
which is expressed as /
w
v Aa R a = = ! , becomes

The normalized stream function and velocity
components are shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
B. Pressure and Shear Distributions
To complete our flow-field analysis, the resulting
pressure gradients and shear stress distributions are
considered. An expression for the transverse pressure
gradient can be developed by substituting the velocity
components of Eq. (14) into Eq. (3) with F acting as a
function of only. The result is

The transverse pressure distribution is found by
manipulating Eq. (44) before integration and
application of the boundary conditions of Eq. (24).

V. Results
To further expound the results of the presented flow,
a variety of values for the expansion ratio are
calculated for the example case scenario of 5 R = .
The stream function for flow under the given
parameters is illustrated in Fig. 2. Note that from a
comparison of Eq. (42) and (44), the relationships for
the normalized stream function and transverse
velocities are identical for the entire channel height
0 1 . Thus, Fig. 2 also serves to display the
transverse velocity distribution. The axial velocity
profiles for a range of expansion ratio values are
depicted in Fig. 3. As the expansion ratio increases, the
axial velocity in the center of the channel also
increases. However, at higher values of , as can be
observed at 20 = , the velocity near the half range
point of the channel height demonstrates reverse flow at
lower values of the cross-flow Reynolds number R .
