- Additional information
- This first of a kind comparison of experimental measurements and CFD simulations, for fluid flow in porous metals with bottleneck-type structures, delivers the protocol for successful modelling and accurate tools for the virtual design of porous metal structures. This approach is now being used in 2 EPSRC/DTP PhD projects to design multi-functional porous structures by additive manufacture. The modelling know-how developed in this research has also underpinned follow-on studies that have created accurate sound absorption models for these unique structures (Applied Acoustics 151 (2019) 164–171)
