Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity of aluminum foams of varying pore sizes was investigated through CT-scanning at 20 micron resolution, and the convective heat transfer results exhibited a dependence on the linear porosity, even though the corresponding volumetric porosity is the same for all the samples considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical Investigation of Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer through Reconstructed Metal Foams and Comparison against Experiments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ micro-CT for numerical analysis of air flow and convection through four different high-porosity copper foams, which have different pore densities (5, 10, 20, and 40 PPI).
Journal ArticleDOI

Manifold microchannel heat sink design using optimization under uncertainty

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model is developed and validated to study the effect of geometric parameters such as microchannel depth and width, manifold depth, and manifold inlet and outlet lengths on the performance of a manifold microchannel (MMC) heat sink.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaporation analysis in sintered wick microstructures

TL;DR: In this paper, pore-scale analysis of thin-film evaporation through sintered copper wicks is performed using X-ray microtomography to generate geometrically faithful, feature-preserving meshes.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D reconstruction and design of porous media from thin sections

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ 2D image data (thin sections) for measuring critical microstructural features of commercial wicks for use in correlation-based prediction of transport properties.
