CFD Analysis of the Flow in Schwarz‐D TPMS Structures for Engineering Applications
Abstract A comprehensive analysis of the flow in Schwarz‐D triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structures based on CFD simulations is presented. The pressure drops and friction factor characteristics of the structure are investigated by employing both full‐scale and representative elementary volume (REV)‐scale CFD setups. The results are validated against experimental data from the literature. An analytical model is developed using hydraulic diameter, porosity, and permeability from the CFD simulation results. The findings contribute valuable insights into the optimization and application of Schwarz‐D TPMS structures in engineering systems.
