Deterministic Tree Networks for Fluid Flow: Geometry for Minimal Flow Resistance Between a Volume and One Point
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of each volume element can be optimized such that the elemental volume-to-point flow resistance is minimal (constructal theory) and a strategy for constructing the architecture of the volume-topoint path such as a tree network is presented.

Constructal tree networks for heat transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a tree-based approach to connect a heat generating volume to a point heat sink by using a finite amount of high-conductivity material that can be distributed through the volume.

Convective trees of fluid channels for volumetric cooling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the geometric optimization of the internal structure of a volume that generates heat at every point and is cooled by a single stream and show that in the end the fluid channels form a tree network that cools every point of the given volume.

Deterministic Tree Networks for River Drainage Basins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the dendritic patterns formed by low-resistance channels in a river drainage basin can be deduced from a single principle that acts at every step in the development of the pattern: the constrained minimization of global resistance in area-to-point flow.

Complexity, organization, evolution, and constructal law
TL;DR: The authors review the central concepts and words that underpin the physics of evolutionary design today: information, knowledge, evolution, change, arrow of time, pattern, organization, drawings, complexity, fractal dimension, object, icon, model, empiricism, theory, disorder, second law, the “any system in thermodynamics, morphing freely, and the constructal law.
