Static thermal permeability estimation
An estimation of the static thermal permeability,
,
can be obtained from the measurements of the dynamic bulk modulus
of a porous medium with prior knowledge
of the open porosity (cf. [OPT02]).
The porous material is assumed to have a rigid, motionless skeleton.
The parameters are then estimated, by analytical formulas, from
Champoux-Allard [CA91] or Champoux-Allard-Lafarge
[CA91,LLAT97] models of thermal effects.

described in [OPT02].
