Pore-scale convection-conduction heat transfer and fluid flow in open-cell metal foams: A three-dimensional multiple-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann (MRT-LBM) solution

Influence of Solder Condition on Effective Thermal Conductivity of Two-Directional Random Fibres: Pore-Scale Simulation

“…To get closer to the real structures of the MFMs, numerical simulations are conducted to reconstruct their microporous structures. Pore-scale numerical simulation is a crucial way to reveal the transport properties of porous media [44][45][46][47] . For two-directional isotropic disordered MFMs, Volkov and Zhigilei [32] proposed a numerical framework for calculating the ETC.…”

Multi‐Scale Analysis of Dispersive Scalar Transport Across Porous Media Under Globally Nonlinear Flow Conditions

“…These studies usually rest on high‐resolution three‐dimensional pore structures provided by X‐ray CT imaging (see, e.g., Mostaghimi et al., 2013; Van Offenwert et al., 2021 and references therein, amongst others) within which relevant processes can be simulated numerically. Typical pore‐scale modeling studies are based on finite volume approaches (FVM; e.g., Moghimi et al., 2022; Mostaghimi et al., 2013) and/or the Lattice‐Boltzmann method (LBM; e.g., Poureslami et al., 2021; Vasheghani Farahani et al., 2020). Results depict slower and more complex transport features across porous media with an increased degree of pore structure heterogeneity.…”

Pore-scale computational analyses of non-Darcy flow through highly porous structures with various degrees of geometrical complexity

“…Detailed studies on the effects of the pore structure of highly porous open-cell metal foams on inertial pore-scale flow regimes are still scarce, especially with reference to the assessment of the parameters associated with the Forchheimer model which is typically used to depict non-Darcy flow regimes at the continuum scale ( [30], [37], [38].) Here, we rely on a DNS approach (as implemented through the OpenFOAM software, which is briefly described in Appendix A [39]) and present the results of a suite of computational…”
