Derivation of a coupled Darcy-Reynolds equation for a fluid flow in a thin porous medium including a fissure

We study the asymptotic behavior of a fluid flow in a thin porous medium of thickness ε, which characteristic size of the pores ε, and containing a fissure of width ηε. We consider the limit when the size of the pores tends to zero and we find a critical size ηε ≈ ε^{2/3} in which the flow is descri...

Sumario:We study the asymptotic behavior of a fluid flow in a thin porous medium of thickness ε, which characteristic size of the pores ε, and containing a fissure of width ηε. We consider the limit when the size of the pores tends to zero and we find a critical size ηε ≈ ε^{2/3} in which the flow is described by a 2D Darcy law coupled with a 1D Reynolds problem. We also discuss the other cases.
