A steady throughflow in a porous medium is studied in the presence of a solidified layer due to cooling of the walls. Under the assumption of a moderately sloped melt-solid interface, analytical solutions are obtained for both a flow between parallel plates and a circular pipe. Differences and similarities are examined between the Darcian and the Brinkman porous media, as well as the effects of various parameters, such as the Peclet number, the ratio of diffusivities in the longitudinal and the lateral directions, and a parameter indicating the degree of wall cooling and flow heating, on thermofluid structure of a flow in porous media accompanied by solidification.
