Application Fields

Problems involving materials with thin layers arise in various application fields. We present here the use of asymptotic expansions for linear elliptic problems to derive and justify so-called ap-proximate or effective boundary conditions. We first recall the known results of the literature, and then discuss the optimality of the error estimates in the smooth case. For non-smooth geometries, the results of [18, 57] are commented and adapted to a model problem, and two improvements of the approximate model are proposed to increase its numerical performance.

Anisotropic Elastic

When a very thin elastic layer is bonded to an elastic body, it is desirable to have effective boundary conditions for the interface between the layer and the body that take into account the existence of the layer. In the literature, this has been done for special anisotropic elastic layers. We consider here the layer that is a general anisotropic elastic material. The mechanics of a thin layer is studied for elastostatics as well as steady state waves. It is shown that one-component surface waves cannot propagate in a semi-infinite thin layer. We then present Love waves in an anisotropic elastic half-space bonded to a thin anisotropic elastic layer. The dispersion equation so obtained is valid for long wavelength. Finally, effective boundary conditions are presented for two thin layers bonded to two surfaces of a plate and a thin layer bonded between two anisotropic elastic half-spaces.

Effective Boundary Conditions

We consider the stationary equations of a general viscous fluid in an infinite (periodic) slab supplemented with Navier's boundary condition with a friction term on the upper part of the boundary. In addition, we assume that the upper part of the boundary is described by a graph of a function φε, where φε oscillates in a specific direction with amplitude proportional to ε. We identify the limit problem when ε → 0, in particular, the effective boundary conditions.

Rough Boundaries

Simulations of a flow over a roughness are prohibitively expensive for small-scale structures. If the interest is only on some macroscale quantity it will be sufficient to model the influence of the unresolved microscale effects. Such multiscale models rely on an appropriate upscaling strategy. Here the strategy originally developed by Achdou et al. [Effective boundary conditions for laminar flows over periodic rough boundaries, J. Comput. Phys. 147 (1998) 187–218] for incompressible flows is extended to compressible high Reynolds number flow. For proof of concept a laminar flow over a flat plate with partially embedded roughness is simulated. The results are compared with computations on a rough domain.
