The constructal law accounts for the universal phenomenon of generation and evolution of
design (configuration, shape, structure, pattern, rhythm). This phenomenon is observed …

Heat transfer optimization methods to effectively improve heat transfer performance is of
great importance for energy conservation and pollution reduction. A recently developed heat …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing
environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …

This is a review of the theoretical and applied progress made based on the Constructal law
of design and evolution in nature, with emphasis on the last decade. The Constructal law is …

It is a long-standing maxim that coarser sediment sizes are associated with steeper beach-
face slopes; but because most work has focused on sandy beaches, few data are available …

This review covers two aspects of “evolution” in thermodynamics. First, with the constructal
law, thermodynamics is becoming the domain of physics that accounts for the phenomenon …

This article addresses the main research areas identified in the call for contributions to this
special issue. With examples from published articles and books, the present article shows …

Along open coasts, wind waves are a key driver of coastal changes and can be major
contributors to coastal hazards. Wind wave characteristics are projected to change in …

Analyzing and understanding coastline variability and dynamics are important for scientists
and policy-makers. This study investigates the long-term process of shoreline change along …

The constructal law was postulated in 1996 as the law of physics that accounts for the
phenomenon of time evolution of configuration in all flow systems that have the freedom to …
