This paper sums up and analyzes the status quo of the research on porous foam metal and put forward the existing problems and several suggestions on the research in future in order to broaden its range for application in national economy.

This paper introduces the research situation of preparing techniques and the performance of porous foam metall at home and aboard, and discusses its application in various fields and developing prospects.

The distributions of velocity and temperature of fluid inside the tube fitted with the porous metal foam were more uniform than that of the blank tube.

The non-equilibrium between fluid and porous metal foam inside a quadrate heat exchanger fitted with porous metal foam both in tube and shell sides was analyzed using the Brinkman-extended Darcy flow model under the constant heat flux condition.
