This paper focus on the properties of boundary layersin periodic homogenization inrectangular domains which are eitherfixed or have an oscillating boundary. Such boundary layers arehighly oscillating near the boundary and decay exponentially fastin the interior to a non-zero limit that we call boundary layertail. The influence of these boundary layer tails on interiorerror estimates is emphasized. They mainly havetwo effects (at first order with respect to the period ε): first,they add a dispersive term to the homogenized equation, and second,they yield an effective Fourier boundary condition.
