<p>A porous structure (5) through which at least one fluid flows, consisting of plural honeycomb blocks (1) each of which has partition walls (2a, 2b) defining a multiplicity of parallel channels (3). The plural honeycomb blocks (1) are superposed on each other such that the corresponding parallel channels (3) formed in adjacent ones of the plural honeycomb blocks (1) communicate with each other. The parallel channels (3) in one of the honeycomb blocks (1) are inclined with respect to the corresponding parallel channels (3) in the adjacent honeycomb blocks (1) such that the parallel channels (3) formed in the plural honeycomb blocks (1) cooperate to form a multiplicity of zigzag fluid passages extending through the porous structure (5).</p> |
