Advection-diffusion in porous media with low scale separation: modelling via higher-order asymptotic homogenisation

Pascale Royer

Asymptotic multiple scale homogenisation allows to determine the effective behaviour of a porous medium by starting from the pore-scale description, when there is a large separatio…
