Mathematical simulation of high-porosity fibrous materials and determination of their physical properties

Abstract

A statistical mathematical model of fibrous high-porosity composite material is described. This model is used for studying the basic radiative and thermophysical properties of material. It is demonstrated how the use of the model helps significantly extend the capabilities of experimental methods and enables one to compare the calculation and experimental results and obtain parameters of material which were previously hardly accessible for determination. © 2009 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
