Qualitative/quantitative homogenization of some non-Newtonian flows in perforated domains
アブストラクト
We consider the homogenization of incompressible viscous non-Newtonian flows in domains perforated with a large number of periodically distributed small holes in $R^{3}$, where the mutual distance between the holes is measured by a small parameter $\epsilon>0$ and the size of the holes is $\epsilon^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha \in (1, \frac 32)$. Under certain general assumptions on the form of non-Newtonian tress tensor, we derived the Darcy's law in the homogenization limit. We employ the Bogovskii type operator in perforated domains to deduce the uniform estimates of the pressure directly. Moreover, quantitative convergence rates are derived by using relative entropy method and boundary layer correction to overcome the inconsistency of the boundary donations. This is a joint work with F. Oschmann from Prague (Czech Republic) and R. Hofer from Regensburg (Germany).
