✦ Synopsis

An approximate solution to the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for steady, isothermal, incompressible, laminar flow in a channel bounded by one porous wall subject to uniform suction is derived. The solution is valid for small values of the Reynolds number based on the suction velocity and channel height. Solute transport is considered numerically by decoupling the equations representing momentum and mass transfer. The effect of fluid slip at the porous boundary on the axial and transverse components of fluid velocity, axial pressure drop and mass transfer is investigated.
