Sumario:A hybrid numerical–analytical solution is developed for laminar flow development in a parallel plate duct partially filled with porous media. The integral transform method is employed in combination with a single domain reformulation strategy for representing the heterogeneous media within the channel. A novel eigenfunction expansion basis is proposed, including abrupt spatial variations of physical properties due to the domain transitions. The introduction of the new basis allows for a solution with similar convergence rates as in previous applications with simpler formulations, as demonstrated through a careful convergence analysis of the expansions. The inherent automatic error control characteristic of the integral transforms approach then provides benchmark results for the developing velocity profile. Moreover, a physical analysis further verifies the consistency of both the proposed expansion and the mixed symbolic–numerical code developed. A detailed verification with a finite-element commercial code is also performed.
