Abstract
In this paper, a numerical study of fluid flow through perforated panels with square holes and open-cell material with cubic cells is presented. Structures with a wide variety of porosities (0.15<φ<0.94) and Reynolds numbers (0.01
期刊介绍:
Defect and Diffusion Forum (formerly Part A of ''''Diffusion and Defect Data'''') is designed for publication of up-to-date scientific research and applied aspects in the area of formation and dissemination of defects in solid materials, including the phenomena of diffusion. In addition to the traditional topic of mass diffusion, the journal is open to papers from the area of heat transfer in solids, liquids and gases, materials and substances. All papers are peer-reviewed and edited. Members of Editorial Boards and Associate Editors are invited to submit papers for publication in “Defect and Diffusion Forum” . Authors retain the right to publish an extended and significantly updated version in another periodical.
