The goal of this work is the approximate solutions of a viscous incompressible fluid impinging orthogonally on a porous flat plate. The equation governing the flow of an incompressible fluid is investigated using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) with the aid of Padé-approximants. The approximate solutions can be successfully applied to provide the value of the skin-friction. The reliability and efficiency of the approximate solutions were verified using numerical solutions in the literature.
