Brown", "Daniel Peterseim" ], "categories": [ "math.NA" ], "abstract": "In this paper we develop a multiscale method to solve problems in complicated porous microstructures with Neumann boundary conditions. By using a coarse-grid quasi-interpolation operator to define a fine detail space and local orthogonal decomposition, we construct multiscale corrections to coarse-grid basis functions with microstructure. By truncating the corrector functions we are able to make a computationally efficient scheme. Error results and analysis are presented. A key component of this analysis is the investigation of the Poincar\\'{e} constants in perforated domains as they may contain micro-structural information. Using a constructive method originally developed for weighted Poincar\\'{e} inequalities, we are able to obtain estimates on Poincar\\'{e} constants with respect to scale and separation length of the pores. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to verify our estimates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-07T15:18:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiscale method", "porous microstructures", "local orthogonal decomposition", "contain micro-structural information", "coarse-grid basis functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.1944B" } } }
