Homogenization of the Navier-Stokes equations in open sets perforated with tiny holes I. Abstract framework, a volume distribution of holes

TLDR
In this paper, the convergence of the homogenization of the Stokes or Navier-Stokes equations to a Dirichlet boundary condition was studied in a domain containing many tiny solid obstacles, periodically distributed in each direction of the axes.
Abstract
This paper treats the homogenization of the Stokes or Navier-Stokes equations with a Dirichlet boundary condition in a domain containing many tiny solid obstacles, periodically distributed in each direction of the axes. (For example, in the three-dimensional case, the obstacles have a size of e3 and are located at the nodes of a regular mesh of size e.) A suitable extension of the pressure is used to prove the convergence of the homogenization process to a Brinkman-type law (in which a linear zero-order term for the velocity is added to a Stokes or Navier-Stokes equation).

Variational Foundations and Generalized Unified Theory of RVE-Based Multiscale Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified variational theory is proposed for a general class of multiscale models based on the concept of Representative Volume Element (RVE), which allows the treatment of problems involving phenomena as diverse as dynamics, higher order strain effects, material failure with kinematical discontinuities.

A calculation of the viscous force exerted by a flowing fluid on a dense swarm of particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the viscous force exerted by a flowing fluid on a dense swarm of particles is described by a modification of Darcy's equation, which was necessary in order to obtain consistent boundary conditions.
