Abstract
Cellular materials in nature have unique structures that show outstanding properties, which has led many scientists and engineers to manufacture them artificially. Among them, Triply-Periodic-Minimal-Surface (TPMS) scaffolds have drawn more attention due to their advantages over other similar lattice structures. With the development of the additive manufacturing known as a 3D-printing, many researchers have been manufacturing a variety of TPMS scaffolds with different methods, and then studing their mechanical behaviours. However, less attention is devoted to fluid dynamics in TPMS scaffolds. Here, to understand the flow behaviour in different TPMS scaffolds, measurements of pressure drop ar..
