Conference Paper Description

In this work, a detailed numerical simulation of the gas flow through a heated open cell foam material was carried out. For this, several models of porous media were created with several values of porosity and the same surface area. Numerical studies were carried out in the ANSYS Fluent software package. The calculations used the SST turbulence model. The validity of the use of this model was confirmed based on direct numerical calculations performed on several models with a detailed breakdown of the grid (60 million cells). Good agreement was found between the results of calculations using DNS obtained on a detailed grid and a relatively rough network with the SST turbulence model. While maintaining the surface area of the material, porosity only affects the pressure drop while keeping the heat transfer characteristics. Creating heat exchangers from porous structures while maintaining thermal characteristics and low hydrodynamic resistance will be useful when using forced convection.
