Résumé
In this talk, starting from the paper of R. Brizzi et J.P. Chalot on problems in domains with strongly oscillating boundaries, I shall recall the contribution with D. Blanchard on this subject and I shall present recent results obtained with O. Guibé.
A domain with strongly oscillating boundary is a domain whose boundary
presents numerous asperities. The asperities have fixed height, a size
depending on a small parameter $varepsilon$ and $varepsilon$-periodic
structure.
Boundary-value problems in such a domain arise in many fields of biology,
physics and engineering sciences. It is often impossible to approach these
problems directly with numerical methods, because the rough boundary
requires a large number of mesh points in its neighborhood. Thus, the
computational cost associated to such a problem grows rapidly when
$varepsilon$ gets smaller. Moreover, it can occur that the required
discretization step becomes too small for the machine precision. Then, the
goal is to replace the problem, when the periodicity $varepsilon$ gets
smaller, with a model in a « more regular » domain $Omega$ which can be
numerically solved.
