Elliptic homogenization is used to determine coarse-grained properties of materials with features on small scales for heat transfer and elasticity. When microstructural features of a material have rapid, periodic fluctuations, the solution…

We analyze the behavior of an isentropic gas in a narrow pipe with periodically-varying cross-sectional area. Using multiple-scale perturbation theory, we derive homogenized effective equations, which take the form of a constant-coefficient…
