For coherence, a floc must have:
Not less than about 3 contacts per fibre
Diameter D, areal density G,
Cylinder of thickness T,
Floc mean density cmassfloc=G/T
Note that the compactness K of the floc is
represented by the ratio of floc areal density
to fibre areal density:
presumably controlled
by the balance
of hydrodynamic and frictional/flexing forces on fibres.
So we can write also:
