The problem of the flow of an ideal incompressible fluid is considered along a flat surface, perpendicular to which a stationary granular layer is located. The granular-layer model is adopted as the ensemble of an infinite number of identical spherical granules, which are statistically uniformly distributed in a layer of finite thickness. The problem is solved on the basis of the previously developed self-consistent field method. In the first approximation in the volume fraction of granules in the layer, the functions describing the ensemble-averaged fluid-velocity profile are obtained in analytical form both inside and outside the layer.
