Abstract

We consider the unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a perforated three-dimensional domain, and show that the limit system for the diameter of the holes going to zero is the same as in the perforated domain provided the perforations are small enough. The novelty of this result is the lower adiabatic exponent gamma > 3 instead of the known value gamma > 6.

The proof is based on the use of two different restriction operators leading to two different types of pressure estimates. We also discuss the extension of this result for the unsteady Navier-Stokes-Fourier system as well as the optimality of the known results in arbitrary space dimension for both steady and unsteady problems.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
