Abstract: | Relations for the permeability of a cellular foam structure are obtained using the equations of the theory of flow through porous media. It is shown that in calculating the flow through a foam using a polyhedral model gives values of the flow rate that are several times too low, and this error does not completely disappear with increase in the polyhedricity of the foam structure (with increase in multiplicity).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 86–89, March–April, 1990. |
