Abstract: Metal and ceramic solid foams were examined to determine axial dispersion for liquids (water and 45% glycerol solution) single phase flow; the results obtained for the packed bed of spheres were used for comparison. The influence of the liquid viscosity on axial dispersion was tested. Moreover, flow resistance was also measured.
