Résumé : |
Similarities abound in the geometry of flow systems in engineering and in nature. For example, tree-shaped flows are everywhere, in computers, lungs, dendritic crystals, urban street patterns, and communication links. In this groundbreaking book, Adrian Bejan starts from the design and optimization of engineered systems and discovers a deterministic principle for the generation of geometric from in natural systems. Shape and structure spring from the struggle for better performance in both engineering and nature. This observation leads to constructal theory, that is, the throught that the objective and constraints principle used in engineering is also the mechanism from which the geometry in natural flow systems emerges. The principle accounts no only for tree-shaped flows but also fo[...] Similarities abound in the geometry of flow systems in engineering and in nature. For example, tree-shaped flows are everywhere, in computers, lungs, dendritic crystals, urban street patterns, and communication links. In this groundbreaking book, Adrian Bejan starts from the design and optimization of engineered systems and discovers a deterministic principle for the generation of geometric from in natural systems. Shape and structure spring from the struggle for better performance in both engineering and nature. This observation leads to constructal theory, that is, the throught that the objective and constraints principle used in engineering is also the mechanism from which the geometry in natural flow systems emerges. The principle accounts no only for tree-shaped flows but also for other geometric forms encountered in engineering and nature - roundducts, regularly spaced internal channels, the proportionlity between width and depth in rivers.
