In this study, the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of sandwich structure containing open-cell core were studied by using numerical simulation. The effect of micro-architecture, cell size and relative density on these parameters were investigated. In this paper, three types of open-cell (Cubic, BCC and BCCZ) were discussed. There is a trade-off relationship between pressure loss and heat transfer characteristics. Also, the numerical results are fitted to conventional approximate equations and the values of fitting parameters for three structures are calculated.
