Although pulse tube cryocoolers (PTCs) reaching liquid Helium temperature were already presented in the 1990s[1], they are still subject to vivid development in many directions. Much of this development is done with the help of simulations and empirical values. A crucial part of a PTC is the regenerator, which is usually filled with multiple layers of porous materials with high heat capacity. These porous materials come in different shapes, mainly packed spheres and wire meshes.
In this talk we present measurements and simulations of pressure drop and gas flow through different regenerator fillings. We show the differences between the different kinds of fillings from the fluid mechanics point of view.
