We approximate an elliptic problem with oscillatory coefficients using a problem of the same type, but with constant coefficients. We deliberately take an engineering perspective, where the information on the oscillatory coefficients in the equation can be incomplete. A theoretical foundation of the approach in the limit of infinitely small oscillations of the coefficients is provided, using the classical theory of homogenization. We present a comprehensive study of the implementation aspects of our method, and a set of numerical tests and comparisons that show the potential practical interest of the approach. The approach detailed in this article improves on an earlier version briefly presented in [C. Le Bris, F. Legoll and K. Li, C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Série I 351 (2013) 265–270].
