The generalized Navier– Stokes equations for incompressible viscous flows through isotropic granular porous medium are studied. Some analytical classic solutions of the Navier– Stokes equations are generalized to the case of the considered equations. Obtained solutions of generalized equations reduce to classic ones as porosity effect disappears. Average velocity of generalized solutions is calculated and evaluated in two limiting regimes of flow. In the shallow conduit, the generalized flow rate approximates the free (without porous medium) flow rate and in the case of removed boundaries this approaches Darcy's law. The use of the derived exact solutions for benchmarking purposes is described. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
