“…Herein, TPMS‐based structures were used for customizing porous media. [ 61 ] Gyroid, diamond, IWP, and primitive structures were investigated for their influence on fluid flow, heat, and mass transport. The results demonstrated that the primitive structure has the lowest pressure drop and the highest local heat transfer coefficient.…”

This review highlights the latest developments of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures with the aim of the system's energy utilization. TPMS structures have gained widespread recognition due to their significant heat transfer (e.g., enhanced surface area) and diverse mechanical properties (e.g., structural stability), making them highly valuable in numerous thermal applications. A comprehensive survey of the design approaches, software tools, commercial materials, and 3D printing techniques of TPMS‐based structures is provided. Research gaps and future perspectives for the commercialization of TMPS structures are identified. Moreover, the potential applications of TPMS‐based structures for heat transfer augmentation and thermal management are discussed. TPMS‐based structures are promising topologies for heat exchangers on account of their intrinsically outstanding specific surface area. In this context, TPMS‐based structures have received considerable attention for various applications, including heat exchangers, latent heat storage, hydrogen storage, battery cooling/thermal management, and membrane distillation. Besides, distinct potential applications of TPMS‐based structures are proposed for heat transfer intensification and thermal management of photovoltaic/thermal collectors and fuel cells. Meanwhile, new proposals for using TPMS‐based structures for different sorption‐based applications, notably adsorption cooling/desalination systems, adsorption atmospheric water harvesting, thermochemical energy storage, and desiccant air conditioning, are nominated for forward‐looking perspectives.

“…It has been revealed that the energy absorption properties of IWP and Neovius structures are superior to those of P or G structures, [206,207] and this has been attributed to the large effective bearing areas of the G and D structures that produce higher strengths than those observed for the P and IWP structures. [208,209] The high porosities and volume specific areas of TPMS structures therefore endow them with great potential for applications in electromagnetic wave absorption, photonic crystals, and heat transfer, among other fields. [208,210,211] In addition to plate, truss, and shellular structures, a range of biomimetic structures with specific functions have been fabricated by imitating the structures of plants, animals, and other species (Figure 22).…”

Micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials have attracted extensive attention in various fields attributed to their superior properties benefiting from their rationally designed micro/nano‐structures. As one of the most advanced technologies in the 21st century, additive manufacturing (3D printing) opens an easier and faster path for fabricating micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials with complex structures. Here, the size effect of metamaterials at micro/nano scales is introduced first. Then, the additive manufacturing technologies to fabricate mechanical metamaterials at micro/nano scales are introduced. The latest research progress on micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials is also reviewed according to the type of materials. In addition, the structural and functional applications of micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials are further summarized. Finally, the challenges, including advanced 3D printing technologies, novel material development, and innovative structural design, for micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials are discussed, and future perspectives are provided. The review aims to provide insight into the research and development of 3D‐printed micro/nano‐scaled mechanical metamaterials.

“…Simulations by Attarzadeh et al 19 focused on the Schwarz Diamond geometry and found the “effective area” where there is meaningful heat transfer increased with increasing Reynolds number. Cheng et al 20 simulated heat transfer for four different TPMS types to obtain heat transfer correlations and friction factors. They found that the Schoen I‐WP 21 TPMS gave the highest ratio of heat transfer to flow resistance.…”

Characterization of unsteady flow in a 3D‐printed Schwarz Diamond monolith using magnetic resonance velocimetry

Process engineering applications such as heat transfer, reactions, and separations involve passing fluid through a porous medium. Historically, random-channel porous media have been used for these operations. Such systems do not represent optimal configurations for process performance because of poor flow distribution and highpressure drop. It is now possible to fabricate porous monoliths with tailored morphology and regular channel structure using 3D-printing. In this work, we use magnetic resonance imaging to study flow through a Schwarz Diamond triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) monolith for Reynolds numbers up to 350. A transition to unsteady flow was observed experimentally for the first time. The channel structure diverts flow such that free shear layers form in the channel centers that contribute to flow instability. These measurements serve to inform the design of novel transport processes with enhanced performance.
