An effective advection induced by oscillating microstructure in a diffusion equation

Analysis of PDEs 2024-05-21 v1

Abstract

We consider the homogenisation of a diffusion equation in a porous medium. The microstructure is time-dependent and oscillating on a small time scale. This oscillation causes a novel advection in the homogenised equations. Allowing for a locally varying geometry, the oscillating microstructure demonstrates the ability to generate arbitrary and locally varying advection velocity fields.
