Asymptotics of a thermal flow with highly conductive and radiant suspensions

Abstract

Radiant spherical suspensions have an \veps\veps-periodic distribution in a tridimensional incompressible viscous fluid governed by the Stokes-Boussinesq system. We perform the homogenization procedure when the radius of the solid spheres is of order \veps3\veps^3 (the critical size of perforations for the Navier-Stokes system) and when the ratio of the fluid/solid conductivities is of order \veps6\veps^6, the order of the total volume of suspensions. Adapting the methods used in the study of small inclusions, we prove that the macroscopic behavior is described by a Brinkman-Boussinesq type law and two coupled heat equations, where certain capacities of the suspensions and of the radiant sources appear.

I made an unintentional double submission. So, I ave replaced the previous version by the correct one
