Homogenisation of flow through periodic networks

Using a discrete version of the method of multiple scales, the problem of fluid flow through an arbitrary periodic network of one-dimensional channels is homogenized to give Darcy flow. A simple, low-dimensional, linear algebra problem gives the effective permeability in terms of the channel conduct...
