On the Potential Flow of an Ideal Incompressible Fluid through a Porous Boundary

The potential flow of an incompressible fluid is considered.The fluid is supposed to be ideal except on the porous boundarywhere the normal velocity is proportional to the pressure. Thisleads to the Laplace equation with the square of the gradientin the boundary condition. The linearized problem (small velocities)is trivially solvable by the variational method in the usualenergy space. The nonlinearity of the boundary condition beingtoo strong for that space, the stationary problem is treatedin some Banach algebras of functions defined on the boundaryof . The existence and uniqueness of the solution are provedfor small flows or for large boundary resistances.
