Abstract: The analytical solution is obtained for two-dimensional creeping flow generated by a source-sink combination located on a spatially periodic boundary. Separation is found to occur when the source and sink are located on concave regions of the boundary. The velocity profile of the two-dimensional Poiseuille flow for a channel is compared to that of the circle problem and the rough channel obtained from the analytical solution. It is found that the mid-channel velocity (or pressure gradient) of the rough case is greater (less) than that of the circle problem.
