Sur quelques problèmes d’homogénéisation non locale et de fluides en milieu poreux : une contribution de Abdelhamid Ziani

Youcef Amirat, Kamel Hamdache (2007)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Dans cet article nous présentons quelques problèmes et résultats d’homogénéisation non locale pour certaines équations de type dégénéré. Nous considérons des équations de transport, une équation des ondes dégénérée et une équation différentielle de Riccati, et nous décrivons dans chacun des cas les effets non locaux induits par homogénéisation. Nous donnons aussi quelques résultats sur l’analyse mathématique des équations des fluides miscibles en milieu poreux.

Tail estimates for homogenization theorems in random media

Daniel Boivin (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider a random environment in d given by i.i.d. conductances. In this work, we obtain tail estimates for the fluctuations about the mean for the following characteristics of the environment: the effective conductance between opposite faces of a cube, the diffusion matrices of periodized environments and the spectral gap of the random walk in a finite cube.

The boundary behavior of a composite material

Maria Neuss-Radu (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we study how solutions to elliptic problems with periodically oscillating coefficients behave in the neighborhood of the boundary of a domain. We extend the results known for flat boundaries to domains with curved boundaries in the case of a layered medium. This is done by generalizing the notion of boundary layer and by defining boundary correctors which lead to an approximation of order ε in the energy norm.

The method of Rothe and two-scale convergence in nonlinear problems

Jiří Vala (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Modelling of macroscopic behaviour of materials, consisting of several layers or components, cannot avoid their microstructural properties. This article demonstrates how the method of Rothe, described in the book of K. Rektorys The Method of Discretization in Time, together with the two-scale homogenization technique can be applied to the existence and convergence analysis of some strongly nonlinear time-dependent problems of this type.

The periodic unfolding method for a class of parabolic problems with imperfect interfaces

Zhanying Yang (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we use the adapted periodic unfolding method to study the homogenization and corrector problems for the parabolic problem in a two-component composite with ε-periodic connected inclusions. The condition imposed on the interface is that the jump of the solution is proportional to the conormal derivative via a function of order εγ with γ ≤ −1. We give the homogenization results which include those obtained by Jose in [Rev. Roum. Math. Pures Appl. 54 (2009) 189–222]. We also get the...

Towards a two-scale calculus

Augusto Visintin (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We define and characterize weak and strong two-scale convergence in Lp, C0 and other spaces via a transformation of variable, extending Nguetseng's definition. We derive several properties, including weak and strong two-scale compactness; in particular we prove two-scale versions of theorems of Ascoli-Arzelà, Chacon, Riesz, and Vitali. We then approximate two-scale derivatives, and define two-scale convergence in spaces of either weakly or strongly differentiable functions. We also derive...

Two problems in homogenization of porous media.

Jesús Ildefonso Díaz (1999)

Extracta Mathematicae

The main goal of this work is to present two different problems arising in Fluid Dynamics of perforated domains or porous media. The first problem concerns the compressible flow of an ideal gas through a porous media and our goal is the mathematical derivation of Darcy's law. This is relevant in oil reservoirs, agriculture, soil infiltration, etc. The second problem deals with the incompressible flow of a fluid reacting with the exterior of many packed solid particles. This is related with absorption...
