Abstract: In order to study the effect of different porosity on thermal conductivity of materials, a random distribution model is established by MATLAB, and the analysis is made by COMSOL® finite element software and classical theoretical calculation formula. It is concluded that the random generated code based on MATLAB can show the change of material porosity, and COMSOL® can effectively calculate the thermal conductivity qualitatively; the thermal conductivity calculated by Zimmerman model is quite different from COMSOL® model and Campbell-Allen model, Campbell-Allen model is in good agreement with the results of COMSOL® calculation. The curve of thermal conductivity calculated by COMSOL® is composed of concave function and convex function. This phenomenon occurs because the occurrence of holes will lead to the change of heat transfer path, so that the change rate of thermal conductivity will change.
