Bingham flow in porous media with obstacles of different size

By using the unfolding operators for periodic homogenization, we give a general compactness result for a class of functions defined on bounded domains presenting perforations of two different size. Then we apply this result to the homogenization of the flow of a Bingham fluid in a porous medium with solid obstacles of different size. Next, we give the interpretation of the limit problem in terms of a nonlinear Darcy law. Copyright (C) 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
