Thermal transport in metal foams has received growing attention in both academic research and industrial applications. In this paper the recent research progress of thermal transport in metal foams has been reviewed. This paper aims to provide the comprehensive state-of-the-art knowledge and research results of thermal transport in open celled cellular metal foams, which covers the effective thermal conductivity, forced convection, natural convection, thermal radiation, pool boiling and flow boiling heat transfer, solid/liquid phase change heat transfer and catalytic reactor. The forced convection and thermal conductivity have been extensively investigated, while less research were performed on two-phase (boiling and solid/liquid phase change heat transfer) and thermal radiation in metal foams. Also most research still treats the metal foam as one type of effective continuous porous media, very few researchers investigated the detailed thermal behaviours at the pore level either by numerical or experimental approaches.
