Abstract
We consider a Newtonian flow in a thin porous medium \(\Omega _{\varepsilon }\) of thickness \(\varepsilon \) which is perforated by periodically distributed solid cylinders of size \(a_\varepsilon \). Generalizing (Anguiano and Suárez-Grau, ZAMP J Appl Math Phys 68:45, 2017), the fluid is described by the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes system where the external force takes values in the space \(H^{-1}\), and the porous medium considered has one of the most commonly used distribution of cylinders: hexagonal distribution. By an adaptation of the unfolding method, three different Darcy’s laws are rigorously derived from this model depending on the magnitude \(a_{\varepsilon }\) with respect to \(\varepsilon \).
