Abstract: Abstract: We present a dynamic large eddy simulation of flow in a periodic open-cell structure in the turbulent regime. The flow domain is represented by a tube with inner diameter of 7mm with integrated highly porous media. Simulations were performed for three different Reynolds numbers ranging from 1200 to 4500 based on the empty tube diameter. The obtained results were compared to experimental data for which measurements were performed downstream of the same periodic geometry manufactured from a transparent material by stereolithography. The measured pressure drop and turbulence statistics compare well to the results of the large eddy simulations. The numerical results give an insight into the forced convection mechanism within the porous media and enhance the understanding of flow through foamlike structures. Furthermore specific geometric details like the influence of the ligament shape of the porous material can be investigated applying this technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
