Investigating the large number of various materials now available, some materials scientists promoted a method of combining existing materials with geometric features. By studying natural materials, the performance of simple constituent materials is improved by manipulating their internal geometry; as such, any base material can be used by performing millimeter-scale air channels. The porous structure obtained utilizes the low thermal conductivity of the gas in the pores. At the same time, heat radiation and gas convection is hindered by the solid structure. The solution that was proposed in this research for obtaining a material with porous structure consisted in perforating extruded polystyrene (XPS) panels, as base material. Perforation was performed horizontally and at an angle of 45 degrees related to the face panel. The method is simple and cost-effective. Perforated and simple XPS panels were subjected to three different temperature regimes in order to measure the thermal conductivity. There was an increase in thermal conductivity with the increase in average temperature in all studied cases. The presence of air channels reduced the thermal conductivity of the perforated panels. The reduction was more significant at the panels with inclined channels. The differences between the thermal conductivity of simple XPS and perforated XPS panels are small, but the latter can be improved by increasing the number of channels and the air channels’ diameter. Additionally, the higher the thermal conductivity of the base material, the more significant is the presence of the channels, reducing the effective thermal conductivity. A base material with low emissivity may also reduce the thermal conductivity.

To understand the physics of air entrainment in thin-film liquid coating and other applications, the stability characteristics of general stratified two-layer Poiseuille-Couette flow are examined in inclined channels. Only one mode of instability, the interfacial mode, is obtained in the long-wave asymptotic limit. The generalized eigenvalue problem, formed by spectral decomposition and solution of the general two-layer Orr-Sommerfeld equation, is solved to obtain all of the critical modes. Analysis of the air/liquid interface corresponding to experiments reveals that because of the large density variation between the two layers, the interfacial mode is the only mode of instability in air entrainment. Results from the stability analysis of the flow near the contact line where air entrainment occurs are consistent with previous experimental observations.
