I just remembered that perforated plate is
another common product used for dissipating energy, damping waves,
redistributing flow, or creating a specified velocity or flow distribution
in various devices. For example, power plant precipitators depend on ideal flow
distribution to remove 99.99 % of partially combusted particles
(particularly in coal fired plants). Perf plate, which comes with various open
area ratios, is ideal for physical modeling of these systems. Velocity
distributions are "forced" in the models to evaluate changes in
performance. Anyway, at one point I went looking for some scrap perf plate
for damping an AH pool. Could not find a scrap and just went to a
mirror.

If memory serves, the proper name is "reticulated foam." In the seventies UniRoyal produced an orange version for fuel cells.: http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx?i=125358
