Evaluation of the effective porosity of an open cell foam material for using in heat and mass transfer numerical simulations
A comparison of the efficiency of the open cell foam (OCF) models is carried out. Geometrical models are constructed by the methods of simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic.

| Summary: | A comparison of the efficiency of the open cell foam (OCF) models is carried out. Geometrical models are constructed by the methods of simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic. The parameter of the material efficiency is defined as the composition of the material surface area and the gas residence time in the porous media. The analytical evaluation shows different values of effective porosity for different construction models of the material. In this case, for all considered models, the effective porosity is in the range of 0.741-0.821. |
