Question

Transcribed Image Text:A fluid of viscosity u flows in the horizontal
cylinder (radius R) shown in the figure under
a constant pressure gradient dP/dx.
The inner core of the cylinder is filled with a porous
material. The flow in this porous region is slow and
assumed to be a plug-type flow such that the velocity
is constant and everywhere the same inside the
porous region. Denote this velocity by Uo.
The flow in the open (non-porous) region is steady, Newtonian, incompressible and axisymmetric.
It will be assumed that only the axial (x) component of the velocity is non-zero.
