Description

We consider a coupled system of PDEs modeling an erosion phenomenon in a heterogeneous porous media. It is an extremely difficult problem to study the properties of a micro non-homogeneous medium. A possible way is to attack the problem by applying asymptotic analysis which immediately leads to the concept of homogenization. We present here an application of the method of homogenization in a periodically perforated medium. At the end we hope to obtain a homogenized model with effective coefficients void of oscillations.
