Abstract

A study of an incompressible two-dimensional flow in a channel with one porous wall is presented in this research. As usual, the cylindrical propellant grain of a solid rocket motor is modeled as a long tube with one end closed at the headwall, while the other remains open. The governing continuity and momentum equations together with the associated boundary conditions are first reduced to a set of self similar non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. Then we solved the ordinary differential equation by RVIM and the numerical method.
