Interference effects on scattering by parallel fibersThe present examination of radiative heat transfer through fibrous materials gives attention to the interactions between radiation scattered from individual parallel fibers for the case of a normally-incident plane EM wave and different representative geometries. Experimental results are obtained for the specific case corresponding to fibers in one plane. Analytical models are developed for the radiative scattering behavior of fibrous media when the interference mechanism is accounted for; the results obtained indicate that interference decreases the scattering efficiency of fibrous media containing a large number of randomly positioned fibers.
