Abstract: The unsteady flow field past a two-dimensional permeable square cylinder was predicted by an updated CE/SE method. The periodic patterns of streamline and vortex shedding were obtained. The evolution of lift and drag coefficients were analysed. Results of 2D computations were compared with the experimental data. It found that the Reynolds number dominated the magnitude and frequency of the vorticity given porosity and Darcy number. It proved that the CE/SE method was an effective tool for predicting viscous flows in porous media.
