Abstract

The aim of the present research work is to understand the intricacies of fluid flow through a rectangular channel that has been partially filled with a metal foam block of different blockage ratio (0.16-1), with a pore density (5–30 Pores Per Inch i.e. PPI), along with varying inlet velocity (6.5–12.5 m/s). For the porous region, numerical solutions are acquired using the Darcy Extended Forchheimer model. The Navier-Stokes equation is used in the non-porous zone. Different flow behaviours were seen as a function of PPI, height, and inlet velocity. The pressure drop increases with inlet velocity, PPI, and block height, with a maximum value of approximately 4.5 kPa for the case of 30 PPI, 12.5 m/s, and a blockage ratio of 1. Results show that the existence and location of the formation of eddies depends on the inlet velocity, PPI, and blockage ratio. Such studies have been reported less and will aid research on forced convection through a channel partially filled with metal foam and optimisation studies between increased heat transmission and the additional pressure drop for the same by providing a detailed fluid flow analysis.

部分填充不同阻塞比金属泡沫的通道中湍流的三维数值建模

本研究工作旨在了解流体流经矩形通道的复杂性，该通道部分填充了不同阻塞比（0.16-1）的金属泡沫块，孔隙密度（5-30 孔/英寸，即 PPI）以及不同的入口速度（6.5-12.5 米/秒）。对于多孔区域，采用达西扩展福克海默模型进行数值求解。无孔区采用纳维-斯托克斯方程。在 PPI、高度和入口速度的作用下，出现了不同的流动行为。压降随入口速度、PPI 和阻塞高度的增加而增加，在 30 PPI、12.5 m/s 和阻塞比为 1 的情况下，最大值约为 4.5 kPa。结果表明，涡流的存在和形成位置取决于入口速度、PPI 和阻塞比。此类研究报道较少，通过提供详细的流体流动分析，将有助于对通过部分填充金属泡沫的通道进行强制对流的研究，以及对增加的热量传输和额外压降之间的优化研究。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .
