Correctors justification for a Smoluchowski--Soret--Dufour model posed in perforated domains (1704.01790v1)

Published 6 Apr 2017 in math.AP and math.FA

Abstract: We study a coupled thermo-diffusion system that accounts for the dynamics of hot colloids in periodically heterogeneous media. Our model describes the joint evolution of temperature and colloidal concentrations in a saturated porous structure, where the Smoluchowski interactions are responsible for aggregation and fragmentation processes in the presence of Soret-Dufour type effects. Additionally, we allow for deposition and depletion on internal micro-surfaces. In this work, we derive corrector estimates quantifying the rate of convergence of the periodic homogenization limit process performed in \cite{KAM14} via two-scale convergence arguments. The major technical difficulties in the proof are linked to the estimates between nonlinear processes of aggregation and deposition and to the convergence arguments of the \emph{a priori} information of the oscillating weak solutions and cell functions in high dimensions. Essentially, we circumvent the arisen difficulties by a suitable use of the energy method and of fine integral estimates controlling interactions at the level of micro-surfaces.
