Abstract: In this work we present new wall-laws boundary conditions including microscopic oscillations. We consider a Newtonian flow in domains with periodic rough boundaries that we simplify considering a Laplace operator with periodic inflow and outflow boundary conditions. Following the previous approaches, see [A. Mikelić, W. Jäger, J. Diff. Eqs, 170, 96–122, (2001)] and [Y. Achdou et al, J. Comput. Phys., 147, 1, 187–218, (1998)], we construct high order boundary layer approximations and rigorously justify their rates of convergence with respect to $\epsilon$ (the roughness’ thickness). We establish mathematically a poor convergence rate for averaged second order wall-laws as it was illustrated numerically for instance in [Y. Achdou, et al]. In comparison, we establish exponential error estimates in the case of an explicit multi-scale ansatz. This motivates our study to derive implicit first order multi-scale wall-laws and to show that their rate of convergence is at least of order $\epsilon ^{\frac {3}{2}}$. We provide a numerical assessment of the claims as well as a counterexample that makes evident the impossibility of an averaged second order wall-law. Our paper may be seen as the first one to derive efficient high order wall-laws boundary conditions.
