An analysis is presented for the steady laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in an annulus between two concentric porous spheres with injection/suction at their boundaries. The inner sphere rotates with constant angular velocity about its own fixed axis, while the outer sphere is stationary. A solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is obtained by employing a regular perturbation technique. The solution obtained is in the form of a power series expansion in terms of the rotational Reynolds number Re and an injection/suction Reynolds number \(\text{Re}_ w\), and is valid for small values of these parameters.
