Abstract
A method for determining the complex bulk modulus ᷉B and the
complex mass density ᷉p of a fluid contained in a rigid porous solid is
investigated. The fluid filled solid is contained within a small
cylindrical cavity capped on each end by identical transducers. This
method, suitable for an acoustically "soft" transducer, is based upon
electroacoustic network theory. ᷉B and ᷉p are obtained from the input
electrical impedance of each transducer when they are wired in
parallel "in-phase" and "out-of-phase", respectively. A description of
the apparatus and preliminary experimental results are presented.
