Abstract
|
In this talk we present upscaling of the classical convection-diffusion equation in a narrow slit. We
suppose that the transport parameters are such that we are in Taylor’s regime i.e. we deal
with dominant Peclet numbers. In contrast to the classical work of Taylor, we undertake
a rigorous derivation of the upscaled hyperbolic dispersion equation. Hyperbolic
effective models were proposed by several authors and our goal is to confirm rigorously the
effective equations derived by Balakotaiah et al in recent years using a formal Liapounov
- Schmidt reduction. Our analysis uses the Laplace transform in time and an anisotropic
singular perturbation technique, the small characteristic parameter epsilon being the ratio
between the thickness and the longitudinal observation length. The Peclet number is
written as Cε-α , with α < 2. Hyperbolic effective model corresponds to a high Peclet
number close to the threshold value when Taylor’s regime turns to turbulent mixing and
we characterize it by supposing 4/3 < α < 2. We prove that the difference between the
dimensionless physical concentration and the effective concentration, calculated using
the hyperbolic upscaled model, divided by ε2-α (the local Peclet number) converges
strongly to zero in L2-norm. For Peclet numbers we considered, the hyperbolic
dispersion equation turns out to give a better approximation than the classical parabolic
Taylor model.
