ABSTRACT
This paper describes velocity fields for fully developed periodic laminar flow in a rigid tube with a porous wall. We obtained an analytical solution of the flow by the linear approximation of the Navier-Stokes equation. Unlike the previous works with a constant seepage rate along the axis, we used a wall velocity which contained hydraulic permeation constant Lp. The axial velocity profile shows a local maximum velocity near the wall at a large Womersley number alpha. This suggests that concentration polarization in porous tubular membrane may be reduced at high frequencies if a membrane device is operated under pulsatile flow conditions. The magnitude of wall permeation velocity decreases linearly along the tube axis because the damping of the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the tube is very small.
