According to the present invention, a porous member made of temperature-resistant material for filtering and/or mixing fluids comprises first channels (132) and second channels (138) respectively extending therethrough. The channels extend under an acute angle to the flow direction (D). Fluids flowing through the porous member (101) flow through the channels (132, 138), on the one hand, and, on the other hand, through the porous material between the channels so that a good mixing of the fluids is obtained and a fluid, homogenized over the cross section, exits from an outlet surface (103). The invention further refers to methods of making the porous member (101), wherein, according to the present invention, a foamed plastic material member is formed with channels, the foamed material member is wetted with wetting material and is afterwards removed by evaporation during the curing.
