A framework for the upscaling of the electrical conductivity in the quasi-static Maxwell's equations (Q508013): Difference between revisions

The main purpose of the present paper is to introduce a procedure for constructing a coarse-mesh or upscaled conductivity model based on a prescribed fine-mesh model. This framework is strongly based on a related optimization problem, which allows to obtain a coarse-mesh conductivity model. The abstract results are illustrated by 1D and 3D, which argue that the proposed framework is able to emulate the behavior of the heterogeneity in the fine-mesh conductivity model, and to produce an accurate description of the desired predicted data obtained by using a coarse mesh in the simulation process.
