In a porous body, a surface layer thickness Ts takes a relatively small value satisfying P≧0.54 Ts (formula (1)), the surface layer thickness Ts being derived by a microstructure analysis using the porous-body data that is prepared through three-dimensional scanning of a region including a surface (inflow plane 61) of the porous body. Here, P denotes a porosity [%] of the porous body, and 0%
Abstract:
A plugged honeycomb structure including a honeycomb structure body, outflow side plugged portions, and inflow side plugged portions. A shape of cells in a cross section is a hexagonal shape. Among six corner portions of each of the hexagonal cells, the corner portion between two partition walls at least one of which is the partition wall separating inflow cells or outflow cells from each other is a specific corner portion, and the corner portion between the two partition walls each of which is the partition wall separating the inflow cell and the outflow cell is an unspecific corner portion. At least one of the specific corner portions is provided with a reinforcing portion so that a shape of the specific corner portion is rounded, and the unspecific corner portions are not provided with the reinforcing portions.

Porous body data 60 in which position information and type information are correlated is reference to take a curved surface solid including a parent virtual sphere and child virtual spheres as a virtual curved surface solid, and place multiple virtual curved surface solids so as to fill in space pixels with curved surface solid pixels occupied by virtual curved surface solids (steps S230 through S320). Repeating this process, by placing multiple virtual curved surface solids within space in a porous body, the microstructure of the porous body is analyzed precisely. As for analysis, deriving of in-plane uniformity index γx, spatial uniformity index γ, pressure drop P, flow-through velocity T, and equivalent diameter d for example, and acceptability determination based on derived values thereof, is performed.
