Abstract This study conducts pore-scale simulations and experiments to estimate the permeability of two different types of porous materials: metal foams
and sintered copper particles with porosities of approximately 0.9 and 0.4, respectively. The integration of micro X-ray computed tomography with
pore-scale computational fluid dynamics simulations develops a unique tool to capture the pore-scale geometry of porous media and accurately predict
non-isotropic permeability of porous media. The pore-scale simulation not only results in improved prediction accuracy but also has the capability to
capture non-isotropic properties of heterogeneous materials, which is a huge challenge for empirical correlations,… More >
