The emergence of Metal Additive Manufacturing has provided gas turbine design engineers with valuable design options, including the utilization of cellular solids. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of research concerning the early selection of these structures and their interactions with fluid flows. Lattice structures, known for their adaptability in achieving specific properties such as high porosity, strength, energy absorption, and lightweight characteristics, have been thoroughly explored in terms of their mechanical performance. However, there is a significant paucity of research investigating their flow and heat transfer performance, particularly for strut-based lattice structures. LatticeFLOAT provides design engineers with flow and thermal property charts to select suitable lattice structures for specific requirements. It offers a comprehensive correlation between flow and thermal characteristics of various lattice topologies, focusing on:
