In the paper, computational homogenization approach is used for recognizing the macroscopic permeability from the microscopic representative volume element (RVE). Flow of water, at both macro and micro level, is assumed to be ruled by Darcy law. A special averaging constraint is used for numerical flow analysis in RVE, which allows to apply macroscopic pressure gradient without the necessity to use directly Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. This approach allows arbitrarily shaped representative volumes and eliminates undesirable boundary effects. Generated effective permeability takes into account the structuring effects, what is an advantage over other homogenization methods, like self-consistent one.

In the paper, the concept of minimal kinematic boundary conditions (MKBC) for computational homogenisation is considered. In the presented approach, the strain averaging equation is applied to the microscopic representative volume element (RVE) via Lagrange multipliers, which are, in turn, interpreted as macroscopic stresses. It is shown that this formulation fulfil automatically Hill-Mandel macrohomogeneity condition. Also, it is demonstrated, that MKBCs are in fact static, Neumann kind boundary conditions. As a consequence the effective parameters computed with this approach are lower bounds of the true effective values. Numerical analysis illustrating these results is also provided.
