Abstract

In this paper, we consider the homogenization of stationary and evolutionary incompressible viscous non-Newtonian flows of Carreau-Yasuda type in domains perforated with a large number of periodically distributed small holes in R3\mathbb{R}^{3}, where the mutual distance between the holes is measured by a small parameter ε>0\varepsilon>0 and the size of the holes is εα\varepsilon^{\alpha} with α(1,3)\alpha \in (1, 3). The Darcy's law is recovered in the limit, thus generalizing the results from https://doi.org/10.1016/0362-546X(94)00285-P and [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jde.2024.08.021] for α=1\alpha=1. Instead of using their restriction operator to derive the estimates of the pressure extension by duality, we use the Bogovski\u{\i} type operator in perforated domains (constructed in [https://doi.org/10.1051/cocv/2016016]) to deduce the uniform estimates of the pressure directly. Moreover, quantitative convergence rates are given.
