Metallic foams characterization using X-ray microtomography

Abstact Due to their multi properties, metallic foams have become of major interest for both, basic research as well as industrial applications. In order to implement a thin modelling approach of fluid flows in such porous media, a three dimensional investigation of their internal structure is fundamental. An open-cell nickel foam is imaged using X-ray microtomography. The morphology of the foa...

Open Cell Metal Foams: Measurement and Numerical Modelling of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer

We herein present results from experimental investigations and new numerical methods for the investigation of fluid flow and heat transfer in cellular solids, in particular open cell metal foams. Results from a custom made test facility contribute to enlarge the public available database of open cell metal foams and serve for the validation of applied commercial and inhouse numerical methods.
