Thermo-Fluid Behaviour of Periodic Cellular Metals introduces the study of coupled thermo-fluid behaviour of cellular metals with periodic structure in response to thermal loads,which is an interdisciplinary research area that requires a concurrent-engineering approach.The book,for the first time,systematically adopts experimental,numerical,and analytical approaches,presents the fluid flow and heat transfer in periodic cellular metals under forced convection conditions,aiming to establish structureproperty relationships for tailoring material structures to achieve properties and performance levels that are customized for defined multifunctional applications.The book,as a textbook and reference book,is intended for both academic and industrial people,including graduate students,researchers and engineers.
