Thermo-Fluidic Comparison between Sandwich Panels with Tetrahedral Lattice Cores Fabricated by Casting and Metal Sheet Folding

This numerical study compares single-phase forced convective heat transfer between two sandwich panels with tetrahedral metallic lattice cores separately fabricated by investment casting and the more cost-effective metal sheet folding method. The numerical model is validated against available experi...
