متن کاملThe constructal unification of biological and geophysical design.
Here we show that the emergence of scaling laws in inanimate (geophysical) flow systems is analogous to the emergence of allometric laws in animate (biological) flow systems, and that features of evolutionary "design" in nature can be predicted based on a principle of physics (the constructal law): "For a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve in such a way that it ...
متن کاملConstructal Theory of Design in Engineering and Nature
This is a brief in tro duc tion to an en gi neer ing the ory on the or i gin and gen er a tion of geo met ric form in all flow sys tems: the an i mate, the in an i mate and the en gi neered. The the ory is named constructal, and is based on the thought that it is nat u ral for cur rents to con struct for them selves in time paths of greater flow access. It is shown that this pro cess of flow pa...
متن کاملThe constructal law of design and evolution in nature.
Constructal theory is the view that (i) the generation of images of design (pattern, rhythm) in nature is a phenomenon of physics and (ii) this phenomenon is covered by a principle (the constructal law): 'for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it'. This law is about the necessit...
