In this note, we consider the homogenization of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a periodically perforated domain in R 3 . Assuming that the particle size scales like ε 3 , where ε > 0 is their mutual distance, and that the Mach number decreases fast enough, we show that in the limit ε → 0, the velocity and density converge to a solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Brinkman term. We strongly follow the methods of Höfer, Kowalczik and Schwarzacher [arXiv:2007.09031], where they proved convergence to Darcy's law for the particle size scaling like ε α with α ∈ (1, 3).
