Abstract Velocity measurements near porous media are performed by particle image velocimetry. Fully established laminar flows along flat media are studied and compared with the predictions of classical models. Five types of porous media are investigated. Two‐dimensional pictures of the flow, average velocities, and local fluctuations are discussed.
