Abstract

In the present article we investigate how geometric microstructures of a domain can affect the diffusion on the macroscopic level. More precisely, we look at a domain with additional microstructures of two kinds, the first one are periodically arranged “horizontal barriers” and the second one are “vertical barriers” which are not periodically arranged, but uniform on certain intervals. Both structures are parametrized in size by a small parameter \(\varepsilon \). Starting from such a geometry combined with a diffusion(-reaction) model, we derive the homogenized limit and discuss the differences of the resulting limit problems for various particular arrangements of the microstructures.
