Calculation of effective electrophysical characteristics of moistened porous materials

  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Features of homogenization of a porous region are considered. Using the spatial averaging method with the local representation of parameters of a field, we introduce effective electrophysical characteristics of a porous moistened medium and write the equations of electrodynamics. A generalized technique for calculating dielectric losses in porous bodies of low conductance with different moisture contents is proposed.
