    Transport parameters for sound propagation in air saturated motionless porous materials: A review

    No full text
    Transport parameters play a key role in characterizing the thermo-viscous behaviour of the microgeometry. Semi-phenomenological models provide valuable tools to establish a connection between the dynamic behaviour of porous materials and these transport parameters. However, each model has its limitations in terms of the frequency range and material types it can accurately represent. One of the most used semi-phenomenological acoustic models in the literature is the Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Lafarge (JCAL) model [J. Fluid. Mech. 176 (1987) 379–402, J. App. Phy. 70 (1998) 1975, J. Ac. Soc. Am. 102 (1998) 1995]. This model requires the knowledge of six transport parameters, known as the porosity φ, airflow resistivity σ, thermal characteristic length Λ′, viscous characteristic length Λ, high-frequency limit of tortuosity α∞, and static thermal permeability k0′, which establish a connection between the micro-geometrical features of the porous material and its macroscopic behaviour when subjected to sound waves. The JCAL model is applicable to all types of porous materials, and the required transport parameters can be measured using suitable devices. With recent advancements in additive manufacturing, it is now possible to create porous materials with precise and controlled geometries. Therefore, understanding the relationships between microgeometry and transport parameters is crucial for designing porous materials with specific acoustic properties. This study provides a comprehensive overview of all the transport parameters involved in characterizing the JCAL model. It synthesizes various direct, indirect, and inverse measurement techniques used to assess these parameters. Additionally, computational approaches for evaluating the transport parameters from representative elementary volumes (REV) of materials are presented. Finally, the study compiles the existing correlations between transport parameters and the microgeometry of the unit cell from the available literature

    Experimental characterization of thermal and viscous powers in porous media under oscillating flow

    Porous materials are integrated components across various industries, offering unique properties such as high surface area, low density, and good permeability. They have a wide range of applications including energy conversion, with relevance in sound absorption and thermoacoustic phenomena. Understanding the intricate energy conversion mechanisms within the microstructure of porous materials under oscillating flows, such as sound waves, is paramount for optimizing their performance in these applications. The techniques currently used for testing porous materials enable the characterization of the behaviour of the porous matrix when subjected to an acoustic wave, without consideration to energetic quantities. Here, this paper presents two novel measurement techniques allowing for the experimental quantification of the power dissipated within the porous material, by making an explicit distinction between thermal relaxation and viscous dissipation effects. The study involves a model to quantify the viscous and thermal energetic behaviours from which analytical expressions guiding the elaboration of the proposed experimental techniques are derived, and finally validated through experimental data. Experimental tests have been carried out on three different samples (polyester fibers, wire mesh and triangular pores sample) largely used both in acoustic and thermoacoustic fields. The experimental data compared with the theoretical prediction for each sample allow to validate the measurement methodologies. By bridging theoretical modelling with experimental validation, this work contributes to the broader understanding and utilization of porous materials in energy conversion applications

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
