Permeability of scaffold is an important parameter which combines
porosity, interconnectivity pore size and shape. It can influence on bone
tissue engineering. The intrinsic permeability coefficient k of an open porous
structure is ability to measure the fluid flow. Based on number of holes and
standard pore diameter, 3D porous geometric models are created using commercial
software SOLIDWORKS. In this study we found permeability co-efficient (k) of
twelve different models with different shapes using Darcy?s law by satisfying
all assumptions. For these models porosity may vary in the range of 20% to
50%.To obtain permeability co-efficient(k), pressure drops are found using CFD
analysis for twelve porous models by considering boundary conditions from
previous literatures and comparing permeability co-efficient(k) of porous
models. - See more at:
