Abstract

We consider the ow of a viscous, incompressible uid contained between two parallel, porous walls. The ow is driven by a spatially uniform injection/suction of uid through the bounding walls. We extend the solution structure of previous investigations to a more general three-dimensional stagnation-point form which can capture a whole range of phenomena in a single class of states. In particular, we show that this form of solution contains states previously discussed under more restrictive assumptions on the ow ÿeld. We show that a range of two- and three-dimensional states exist, together with symmetry-broken solutions and periodic states. We discuss the stability of these states and relate the previous results of Drazin, Banks, Zaturska and co-workers to those of Goldshtik and Javorsky on the �bifurcation to swirl� and of Hewitt and Duck on non-axisymmetric von Karman fows.
