Third step ( ) Solvability condition Leads to the homogenised equation Effective Diffusivity: matrix where
Effective Diffusivity The homogenisation procedure enhances diffusion; the effective diffusivity is always greater than the molecular diffusivity in the following sense: For every vector we have
