The mathematical model responsible for fully developed laminar transient flow formation between the gaps of two stationary concentric porous tubes due to the imposition of azimuthal pressure gradient (Dean flow) is solved semi-analytically. The tubes walls are porous so that a radial flow can be superimposed. The solution of the momentum and continuity equations are obtained semi-analytically by using the combination of Laplace transform technique and a Laplace inversion method called Riemann sum approximation method. The solutions for skin friction at (outer surface of the inner porous tube) and (inner surface of the outer porous tube) are presented. The impact of suction/injection parameter and the ratio of the radii of the tubes are examined for the velocity profile and skin friction. Results show that the velocity profile decreases with increase in suction/injection parameter for various values of time, and at large value of time, (), the velocity and the skin friction attain a steady state.
