Darcy's laws for non‐stationary viscous fluid flow in a thin porous medium

We consider a non‐stationary Stokes system in a thin porous medium Ω_? of thickness ? which is perforated by periodically solid cylinders of size a _? . We are interested here to give the limit behavior when ? goes to zero. To do so, we apply an adaptation of the unfolding method. Time‐dependent Darcy's laws are rigorously derived from this model depending on the comparison between a _? and ? . Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
