Abstract
The stability of plane Couette-Poiseuille flow between porous walls is considered. Injection of fluid through one wall and suction through the opposite wall leads to a nonparallel flow that satisfied the Navier-Stokes equations. Neutral stability diagrams are presented for Poiseuille flow and for Couette-Poiseuille flow. In both cases crossflow produces a significant increase in the critical Reynolds number.
