Two-phase flow in open-cell metal foams with application to aero-engine separators

Oil-air separation is a key function in aero engines with closed-loop oil systems. Aero-engine separators are employed to separate oil from air before being released overboard. Typically, these devices make use of a porous medium such as an open-cell metal foam, in order to enhance oil separation. A...
