Inner-layer asymptotics in partially perforated domains: coupling across flat and oscillating interfaces

Abstract

The article examines a boundary-value problem in a domain consisting of perforated and imperforate regions, with Neumann conditions prescribed at the boundaries of the perforations. Assuming the porous medium has symmetric, periodic structure with a small period $\varepsilon,$ we analyse the limit behavior of the problem as $\varepsilon \to 0.$ A crucial aspect of this study is deriving correct coupling conditions at the common interface, which is achieved using inner-layer asymptotics. For the flat interface, we construct and justify a complete asymptotic expansion of the solution in the $H^1$-Sobolev space. Furthermore, for the $\varepsilon$-periodically oscillating interface of amplitude $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon),$ we provide an approximation to the solution and establish the corresponding asymptotic estimates in $H^1$-Sobolev spaces.
