A class of exact solutions of two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations representing the flow between two porous parallel walls, when there exist variable suction and injection at the boundaries (with or with out slip) under the prescribed entry and outlet conditions at the ends of the channel of given length is obtained. These are exact solutions of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for a suitable class of variable suction and injection prescribed at the walls. Certain interesting flow characteristics are observed, when analysed through the graphs of velocity profiles and stream lines. The change in the pattern of the stream lines corresponding to the various prescribed suction/injection velocities are observed. The convergence analysis (with slip) of the series solution is discussed with a suitable numerical example.

Numerical simulations of Navier–Stokes equations are performed to study the flow originated by an oscillating pressure gradient close to a wall characterized by small imperfections. The scenario of transition from the laminar to the turbulent regime is investigated and the results are interpreted in the light of existing analytical theories. The ‘disturbed-laminar’ and the ‘intermittently turbulent’ regimes detected experimentally are reproduced by the present simulations. Moreover it is found that imperfections of the wall are of fundamental importance in causing the growth of two-dimensional disturbances which in turn trigger turbulence in the Stokes boundary layer. Finally, in the intermittently turbulent regime, a description is given of the temporal development of turbulence characteristics.
