MIMW02 - From the grain to the continuum: two phase dynamics of a partially molten, polycrystalline aggregate

An elliptic-parabolic system of partial differential equations describes the flow of a single-phase incompressible fluid and the transport of a dissolved chemical by advection and diffusion through a heterogeneous porous medium.  The objective is to develop an upscaled model of this system which represents the full range of scales observed.  After a review of homogenization results for the traditional low contrast and the $\epsilon^2$-scaled high contrast cases, the new discrete upscaled model based on local affine approximations is constructed. It reproduces the full range of scale contrasts observed in experiments.
