Abstract In the present study, the thermal performance of metal foam heat sink was
numerically investigated by adopting the local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model
and local thermal equilibrium (LTE) model. Temperature field distributions and
temperature difference field distributions of solid and fluid phases were presented.
Detailed thermal performance comparisons based on the LTE and LTNE models were
evaluated by considering the effects of the relevant metal foam morphological and
channel geometrical parameters. Results indicate that a distinct temperature difference
exists between the solid and fluid phases when the LTNE effect is pronounced. The
average Nusselt numbers predicted by both the LTE… More >
