3 Heterogeneous media: Diffusion in a chessboard domain Heterogeneous media and their homogeneous representation Is an equivalent formulation posed in an homogeneous domain possible?

4 Asymptotic homogenization for chessboard-type microstructures Here A ɛ(x) = A(x, x ɛ ). Idea 1: Use tu ɛ div(a ɛ(x) u ɛ) = f ɛ in Ω ɛ u ɛ = g ɛ at black/white inner boundaries n A ɛ u ɛ = 0 at the outer boundary + i.c. u ɛ(t, x) = u 0 (t, x) + ɛu 1 (t, x, x ɛ ) + ɛ2 u 2 (t, x, x ɛ ) + O(ɛ3 ) to get PDEs for u 0. Idea 2: Along the same line: show the corrector estimate u ɛ u 0 c(u 1,... )ɛ α, α > 0.

5 Macroscopic equation for chessboard diffusion. Range of validity? t(φu 0 ) div(φd(x, w(x)) u 0 ) = φf 0 in Ω n φd(x, w(x)) u 0 = 0 at the outer boundary φ is the chessboard porosity, i.e. φ = 1 16 D(, w( )) is an effective transport coefficient w is a parameter depending on the chessboard s microstructure (cell functions) Rate of convergence (correctors): u ɛ u 0 L 2 c 1 ɛ tu ɛ tu 0 L 2 c 2 ɛ u ɛ u 0 oscillations L 2 c 3 ɛ

S ɛ = 1 ɛ ys + O(ɛ0 ) ν ɛ = ν 0 + ɛν 1 + O(ɛ 2 ), Ω ɛ l = {S(x, x/ɛ) < 0 : x Ω}, Ω ɛ h = {S(x, x/ɛ) > 0 : x Ω}

12 Micro-macro model tv 0 (x, y, t) = D l yv 0 (x, y, t) y < r(x), x Ω, t (θ(x)u 0 + ) v y <r(x) 0 dy = div x(d h A(x) xu 0 qu 0 ) for x Ω, q = K(x) xp 0 for x Ω, x q = 0 for x Ω, v 0 (x, y, t) = u 0 (x, t) for y = r(x), u 0 (x, t) = u b (x, t) for x Γ, q(x, t) = q b (x, t) for x Γ, { u 0 (x, 0) = u I (x) for x Ω, v 0 (x, y, 0) = v I (x, y) for y < r(x), x Ω.

13 The porosity θ(x) of the medium is given by θ(x) := 1 πr 2 (x), while the effective diffusivity D(x) := (a ij (x)) i,j and the effective permeability K(x) := (k ij (x)) i,j are defined by a ij (x) := D h δ ij + yi U j (x, y, t) dy, {y U y >r(x)} and k ij (x) := V ji (x, y, t) dy. {y U y >r(x)}

14 x-dependent cell problems yu j (x, y) = 0 ν 0 yu j (x, y) = ν 0 e j U j (x, y) y-periodic, for all x Ω, y Y, y > r(x), for all x Ω, y = r(x), and V j (x, y) = yπ j (x, y) + e j y V j (x, y) = 0 V j = 0 V j (x, y) and π j (x, y) y-periodic, for all x Ω, y Y, y > r(x), for all x Ω, y Y, y > r(x), for all x Ω, y = r(x), for j = 1, 2.

17 Assumptions on data and parameters (A1) S 0 : Ω U R, which defines B(x) and also the 1-dimensional boundary Ω B(x) of Ω B(x) as (x, y) Ω B(x) if and only if S 0 (x, y) = 0, is an element of C 2 (Ω U). Additionally, the Clarke gradient ys 0 (x, y) is regular for all choices of (x, y) Ω U. (A2) θ, D L + (Ω), q L (Ω; R d ) with q = 0, u b L + (Ω S) H 1 (S; L 2 (Ω)), tu b 0 a.e. (x, t) Ω S, u I L + (Ω) H 1, v I (x, ) L + (B(x)) H 2 for a.e. x Ω.

18 Functional setting V 1 := H0 1 (Ω), V 2 := L 2 (Ω; H 2 (B(x))), H 1 := L 2 θ(ω), H 2 := L 2 (Ω; L 2 (B(x))). If 0 < B(x), B(x) <, then the direct Hilbert integrals L 2 (Ω; H 1 (B(x))) := {u L 2 (Ω; L 2 (B(x))) : yu L 2 (Ω; L 2 (B(x)))} L 2 (Ω; H 1 ( B(x))) := {u : Ω B(x) R meas. s. t. u(x) 2 L 2 ( B(x)) < } are separable Hilbert spaces with distributed trace: γ : L 2 (Ω; H 1 (B(x))) L 2 (Ω, L 2 ( B(x))) given by γu(x, s) := (γ xu(x))(s), x Ω, s B(x), u L 2 (Ω; H 1 (B(x))) Ω

19 Definition (Weak formulation) Assume (A1) and (A2). The pair (u, v), with u = U + u b and where (U, v) V, is a weak solution if the following identities hold θ t(u + u b )φ dx + (D x(u + u b ) q(u + u b )) xφ dx = Ω Ω Ω B(x) Ω B(x) ν y (D l yv)φ d tvψ dydx + D l y yψ dydx = ν y (D l yv)φ dσdx, Ω B(x) Ω B(x) for all (φ, ψ) V and t S.

20 Basic estimates Lemma Let (A1) and (A2) be satisfied. Then any weak solution (u, v) of problem (P) has the following properties: (i) u 0 for a.e. x Ω and for all t S; (ii) v 0 for a.e. (x, y) Ω B(x) and for all t S; (iii) u M 1 for a.e. x Ω and for all t S; (iv) v M 2 for a.e. (x, y) Ω B(x) and for all t S; (v) The following energy inequality holds: u 2 L 2 (S;V 1 ) L (S;H 1 ) + v 2 L 2 (S;L 2 (Ω,V 2 )) L (S;H 2 ) + xu 2 L 2 (S;H 1 ) + yv 2 L 2 (S Ω B(x)) c 1. N.B. Assume (A1), (A2). Then uniqueness of weak solutions holds.

21 Global existence Theorem There exists at least a weak solution of the micro-macro model. Proof. (Sketch) Schauder fixed-point argument in L 2 (S; L 2 (Ω)) framework X 1 := L 2 (S; L 2 (Ω)), X 2 := L 2 (S; H0 1 (Ω)) H 1 (S; L 2 (Ω)), X 3 := L 2 (S; V 2 ) H 1 (S; L 2 (Ω; L 2 (B(x)))). T : X 1 X 1 with T := T 3 T 2 T 1.

22 T 1 maps a f X 1 to the solution w X 2 of θ t(u + u b )φ dx + (D x(u + u b ) q(u + u b )) xφ dx = Ω for all φ H0 1 (Ω). T 2 maps a w X 2 to a solution v X 3 of t(v + w)ψ dydx + Ω B(x) for all ψ V 2 and t S. T 3 maps a v X 3 to f X 1 by f = Lemma T is well defined. Ω Ω Ω B(x) B(x) B(x) D l y(v + w) yψ dydx = ν y (D l y(v + w))ψ dσdx, ν y yv dσ. Ω f φ dx,

23 Compactness step Lemma The operator T is compact. Step 1. Use Ψ : Ω B(0) Ω B(x). We call Ψ a regular C 2 -motion if Ψ C 2 (Ω B(0)) with the property that for each x Ω Ψ(x, ) : B(0) B(x) := Ψ(x, B(0)) is bijective, and if there exist constants c, C > 0 such that c det yψ(x, y) C, for all (x, y) Ω B(0). The existence of such a mapping is ensured by the fact that S 0 C 2 (Ω U), by (A1). If Ψ is a regular C 2 -motion, then are continuous functions of x and y. F := yψ and J := det F yv = F T ŷ ˆv, tv = t ˆv, ν y j dσ = JF T ˆνŷ ĵ dσ. B(x) Γ 0

24 The transformed equation can be now written as: Let w X 2 be given. Find ˆV L 2 (S; L 2 (Ω; H 1 0 (B(0)))) H 1 (S; L 2 (Ω; L 2 (B(0)))) such that Ω B(0) t( ˆV + w)ψj dydx + Ω Ω B(0) JF 1 D l F T y( ˆV + w) yψ dydx = Γ 0 ˆν y (JF 1 D l F T y( ˆV + w))ψ dσdx, for all ψ L 2 (Ω; H 1 0 (B(0))) and t S. Denote by Γ 0 the boundary of B(0).

25 Step 2. Interior and boundary regularity (in y) Assume (A1) and (A2). Then Γ 0 is C 2 and ˆV L 2 (S; L 2 (Ω; H 2 (B(0)) H 1 0 (B(0)))). Step 3. Additional two-scale regularity (in y) Assume (A1) and (A2). Then ˆV L 2 (S; H 1 (Ω; H 2 (B(0)) H 1 0 (B(0)))). Step 4. Apply Lions-Aubin Lemma

29 Justification of the formal asymptotics Theorem Assume (A1) and (A2). Then the following convergence rate holds u ɛ u ɛ 0 L (S,L 2 (Ω ɛ)) + v ɛ v ɛ 0 L (S,L 2 (Ω Ω ɛ)) + u ɛ u ɛ 1 L (S,H 1 (Ω ɛ)) + ɛ v ɛ v ɛ 0 L (S,H 1 (Ω Ω ɛ)) c ɛ
