Résumé

We study particulate flows or suspensions of solid particles in a viscous incompressible fluid in the presence of highly oscillatory, velocity dependent, surface forces. The flow at a small Reynolds number is modeled by the Stokes equations coupled with the motion of rigid particles. The objective is to perform homogenization for the given suspension and obtain an equivalent description of a homogeneous (effective) medium and determine the effective viscosity and the macroscopic effect of the surface forces.
