We analyze the behavior of weak solutions to compressible viscous fluid flows in a bounded domain in $${{\,\mathrm{{\mathbb {R}}}\,}}^3$$

denoting the average distance between the balls, the problem homogenize to the same limiting equation. Our main contribution is a construction of the Bogovskiĭ operator, uniformly in $$\varepsilon $$

, the velocity, density, and temperature converge to a solution of the same system. We follow the methods of Lu and Pokorný [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jde.2020.10.032] and Pokorný and Skříšovský [https://doi.org/10.1007/s41808-021-00124-x] where they considered the full system in periodically perforated domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
