Abstract
We are interested in the validity of effective boundary conditions for a heat equation on a coated body as the thickness of the coating shrinks to zero. The coating is optimally aligned in the sense that the normal vector in the coating is an eigenvector of the thermal tensor. If the heat equation satisfies Neumann boundary condition on the outer boundary of the coating, Chen et al. (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 206 (2012) 911-951) derived the complete list of effective boundary conditions satisfied by the limiting model. In this paper we provide explicit error estimates between the full model and the effective model. Moreover, our error estimates are independent of time, which shows that the maximal time interval in which the effective boundary conditions remain valid are infinite. The proof is based on estimates for solutions of the full model, characterization of large time behaviors for solutions of the effective model, and interaction estimates between the two models.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
