A Numerical Method for Modeling Equivalent Conductivity of Closed-Cell Aluminum Foams Material Based on CST Software

Abstract:

A numerical method for modeling equivalent electrical conductivity of closed-cell aluminum foams material based on CST software has been presented. The equivalent electrical conductivity is calculated through summing up the total loss produced in the multicomponent aluminum foams model which has been analyzed by the CST software. The influences of porosity on the electrical conductivities are investigated numerically and the mathematical formulas of the relationship between porosity and conductivity are also shown. The validity of the proposed model was verified through applications of the model in many practical problems, where excellent agreement between measured and calculated results was obtained.
