“…A rigorous theoretical validation of the Darcy-Forchheimer model has been presented by Chen et al [25] via homogenization theory and Whittaker [26] with asymptotic methods. Experimental corroboration of this model has also been presented by Sener et al [27]. become one-dimensional along the X -axis, and hence velocity is a function of Y only.…”

“…11 Schematic views of partially filled porous designs in Ref. [84] sources on the bottom wall. When the width of the heat source and the space between the porous layers are of the same dimension as the channel height, the heat transfer enhancement in the partially filled channel is almost the same as the fully filled channel, whereas the pressure drop is much lower.…”

“…3.6 Metal Foam Heat Sink Optimization. Numerous studies have focused on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of various metal foam heat sink designs, covering fully and partially filled metal foam heat sink [84], nonuniform metal foam heat sink [95], and finned metal foam heat sink [71]. It should be pointed out that these designs were not optimized, so further performance improvement in the heat dissipation rate, along with reducing pumping power consumption could be expected.…”

High porosity metal foams offer large surface area per unit volume and have been considered as effective candidates for convection heat transfer enhancement, with applications as heat sinks in electronics cooling. In this paper, the research progress in thermo-hydraulic performance characterization of metal foams and their application as heat sinks for electronics cooling are reviewed. We focus on natural convection, forced convection, flow boiling, and solid/liquid phase change using phase change materials (PCMs). Under these heat transfer conditions, the effects of various parameters influencing the performance of metal foam heat sink are discussed. It is concluded that metal foams demonstrate promising capability for heat transfer augmentation, but some key issues still need to be investigated regarding the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer to enable the development of more efficient and compact heat sinks.

In this paper, forced convective heat transfer in a rectangular channel filled with aluminium metal foam and exposed to a constant heat flux is examined numerically with the thermal non-equilibrium assumption. A constant heat flux boundary condition is applied from the upper side of the channel. A numerical model is first validated with the available experimental results. Next, the effects of different configurations of metal foams with different porosities and different PPI values on fluid flow and heat transfer are examined. Results are given by average Nusselt number and pressure drop factor for different Reynolds numbers. A performance factor is also defined and the effect of different configurations on performance factor is comparatively examined. The results show that the heat transfer rate and pressure drop significantly depending upon Reynolds number, configuration and porosity.
