3D Woven Lattices for Drag Reduction and Turbulence Reduction

UNMET NEEDThe reduction in fuel consumption and the subsequent reduced cost of logistics in transportation is an urgent need. Although technology is being developed to improve efficiency of engines used in ground transportation, a more effective target for technological development is reducing aerodynamic drag (which uses up over 50% of a road vehicle’s...

3D Woven Lattices as Multi-functional Heat Exchanger

Unmet NeedPorous materials are a widely used heat exchanger for common household items such as radiators and refrigerators. However, these materials are typically focused on optimizing at most one or two physical/chemical properties (heat transfer, fluidic permeability, electrical conductivity, etc.). As a result, these materials tend to underperform...

Combining Complex Flow Manifold with Three Dimensional Woven Lattices as a Thermal Management Unit

Unmet Need3D woven lattice materials have been researched and studied for their fluidic and thermal properties. Used in fields such as transportation, manufacturing, power generation, and high-power devices, 3D woven lattice materials demonstrate excellent heat transfer capabilities in comparison to other heat exchanger media. However, researchers still...
