Effective transmission conditions for reaction–diffusion processes in domains separated by thin channels
Apratim Bhattacharya, Markus Gahn, Maria Neuss‐Radu · Applicable Analysis · 2020
We consider a reaction–diffusion equation in a domain consisting of two bulk regions connected via small channels periodically distributed within a thin layer. The height and the thickness of the channels are of order ε, and the equation inside the layer depends on the parameter ε and an additional parameter γ∈[−1,1), which describes the size of the diffusion in the layer. We derive effective models for the limit ϵ→0, when the channel-domain is replaced by an interface between the two bulk-domains.
