Viscoelastic Flows In A Rough Channel: A Multiscale Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we consider viscoelastic flows in a rough domain (with typical roughness patterns of size $\epsilon$ < 1). We present and rigorously justify an asymptotic expansion with respect to $\epsilon$, at any order, based upon the definition of elementary problems: Oldroyd-type problems at the global scale defined on a smoothened domain and boundary-layer corrector problems. The resulting analysis guarantees optimality with respect to the truncation error.
