High ash storage, pattern-plugged, honeycomb bodies and particulate filters

A honeycomb body comprising:

• intersecting porous walls forming a matrix of repeating structural units arranged in a repeating pattern, wherein each of the repeating structural units comprises:
• a plurality of inlet channels and a plurality of outlet channels that extend parallel to each other in an axial direction from an inlet face to an outlet face;
• wherein an I/O ratio of a number of the inlet channels to a number of the outlet channels in each of the repeating structural units is between 2.0 and 3.0;
• each of the inlet channels and the outlet channels have a same cross-sectional size and cross-sectional shape in a transverse plane orthogonal to the axial direction;
• and
• each of the inlet channels directly abuts at least one of the outlet channels;
• wherein each of the inlet channels and the outlet channels in each of the repeating structural units is square in cross-section in the transverse plane, and
• wherein the repeating pattern of repeating structural units comprises a series of co-parallel groups of three diagonally-aligned outlet channels wherein each group is bounded on either end by inlet channels.
