The thermal non-equilibrium porous media modelling for CFD study of woven wire matrix of a Stirling regenerator (2014)
Journal Article
Costa, S., Barreno, I., Tutar, M., Esnaola, J., & Barrutia, H. (2015). The thermal non-equilibrium porous media modelling for CFD study of woven wire matrix of a Stirling regenerator. Energy Conversion and Management, 89, 473-483. https://doi.org/10.1016/

Different numerical methods can be applied to the analysis of the flow through the Stirling engine regenerator. One growing approach is to model the regenerator as porous medium to simulate and design the full Stirling engine in three-dimensional (3-...
