...Nihad Dukhan; Rubén Picón-Feliciano; Ángel R. Álvarez-Hernández Wind-tunnel steady-state unidirectional pressure-drop measurements for airflow through nine compressed and uncompressed isotropic open-cell aluminum foam samples, having different porosities and pore densities, were undertaken...

...K. Boomsma, ASME Member; D. Poulikakos, ASME Fellow Open-cell aluminum foams were investigated using water to determine their hydraulic characteristics. Maximum fluid flow velocities achieved were 1.042 m/s. The permeability and form coefficient varied from 2.46 × 10 − 10 m 2 and 8701 m − 1 to 3529...
