This work analytically investigates the problem of steady film condensation along a vertical surface embedded in an anisotropic porous medium filled with a dry saturated vapor. The porous medium is anisotropic in permeability whose principal axes are oriented in a direction which is oblique to the gravity vector. On the basis of the generalized Darcy's law and within the boundary layer approximations, similar solutions have been obtained for the temperature and flow patterns in the condensate. Moreover, closed form solutions for the boundary layer thickness and heat transfer rate have been obtained in terms of the governing parameters of the problem.
