The pressure drops were measured on metallic foams having uniform structure and different thicknesses, densities and pore sizes. Results indicated that entrance/exit effects can be a significant contributor to the pressure drop when the thickness of the specimens is small. Above a critical thickness, the contribution of the entrance effect on the total pressure drop becomes insignificant and classical models can be applied.
