Thermally developing forced convection in a metal foam-filled elliptic annulus

•Analytical and numerical forced convection in aluminum foam-filled elliptic annulus model is presented.•A uniform flow with constant physical properties is considered.•Comparison of the heat transfer in foam-filled and empty elliptic annuli is done.•Validation of the numerical solution by the repro...
