Abstract
Abstract Flow resistivity, tortuosity, viscous characteristic length and thermal characteristic length of three melamine foam and two glass wool samples have been measured. It has been found that a melamine foam sample with a bulk density 10.3 kg m−3 and a glass wool sample with a bulk density 28.0 kg m−3 have almost the same flow resistivity, however, the bulk density is as much as three times different. The cross-sectional pore shape factors, which are deduced with the non-acoustical parameters in the Johnson–Allard model, of the melamine foam are smaller than those of the glass wool. This paper also discusses a new relationship between the flow resistivity, the fibre equivalent diameter and the bulk density in melamine foam.
