The stokes sieve problem
Carlos Conca · Communications in Applied Numerical Methods · 1988
Abstract This paper presents a brief survey of some theoretical results concerning the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a domain containing a periodically perforated wall (or sieve). By studying a model problem, and using homogenization theory, the paper gives a complete description of the asymptotic behaviour of this kind of fluid flow as the sieve becomes finer and finer.
