Cioranescu, Doina (ed.) et al., Homogenization and applications to material sciences. Proceedings of the international conference, Nice, France, June 6–10, 1995. Tokyo: Gakkotosho. GAKUTO Int. Ser., Math. Sci. Appl. 9, 31-43 (1995).
Summary: This paper deals with the homogenization of unsteady Stokes equations in random porous domains. In this asymptotic problem Darcy law and parabolic homogenized equation are established for the leading term of the solution. The random structure is supposed statistically homogeneous with respect to the group of translations in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$. The main geometric condition for the porous domain is its connectedness. The complement to this domain could be either connected or disconnected. Smoothness or regularity of boundaries are not assumed.
