Direct Simulation of Transport in Open-Cell Metal Foams

Microtomography-Based Simulation of Transport Through Open-Cell Metal Foams

Measurement and Modeling of Creep in Open-Cell NiAl Foams

Nickel-rich NiAl foams, consisting of open cells with hollow struts and exhibiting two relative densities (5.0 and 6.6 pct) and average cell sizes (1.27 and 0.85 mm), were creep tested between 800 °C and 1100 °C under compressive stresses between 0.10 and 1.50 MPa. For stresses lower than 0.50 MPa, the foams exhibit secondary creep with power-law behavior characterized by creep exponents and ac...

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.
