Finite element computation of the effective thermal conductivity of two-dimensional multi-scale heterogeneous media

Purpose The simulation of heat conduction inside a heterogeneous material with multiple spatial scales would require extremely fine and ill-conditioned meshes and, therefore, the success of such a numerical implementation would be very unlikely. This is the main reason why this paper aims to calcula...
