Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a Stokes flow in a thin domain, with a thickness of order $\varepsilon$, and a rough surface. The roughness is defined by a quasi-periodic function with period $\varepsilon$. We suppose that the flow is subject to a Tresca fluid-solid interface condition. We prove a new result on the lower-semicontinuity for the two-scale convergence, which allows us to obtain rigorously the limit problem and to establish the uniqueness of its solution.
