The problem of viscous incompressible flow in a periodic cell with a porous body is solved. The Stokes flow model is adopted to describe the flow outside the body and the Brinkman equation is applied to find the filtration velocity field inside the porous domain. The conditions on the boundary between the free fluid and the porous medium for the porous body of arbitrary shape are obtained. The boundary value problem for the joint solution of the biharmonic and Brinkman equations for the stream functions outside and inside the porous body are then solved using a boundary element method. Good agreement of the numerical and analytical models for the Kuwabara circular cell model is shown for the fluid flow through a porous circular cylinder. The fluid flow past a circular, square, triangular cylinders and a circular body of uneven surface (an idealized model of a viral capsid) in a rectangular periodic cell are calculated. Comparison of the results obtained with the numerical solution from a CFD ANSYS/FLUENT model shows good accuracy of the developed mathematical model.
