Abstract:
Based on a modified equivalent fluid model, the present work proposes a composite model which analytically includes the shape of the inclusions, whether they are porous or not. This model enables to describe the acoustic behavior of a large range of media from perforated plates to arbitrarily shaped porous composites including configurations of porous inclusions in solid matrix or double porosity media. In addition, possible permeability interactions between the substrate material and the inclusions are accounted for.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
