The ability of predicting material failure is essential for adequate structural dimensioning in
every mechanical design. For ships, and particularly for military vessels, the challenge of …

Current work aims to study the geometry of an overtopping wave energy converter in real
scale using Constructal Design. Problem studied here is submitted to two constraints (areas …

Several engineering structures used in civil, aeronautical and, mainly, naval and offshore
industries consist of steel stiffened panels formed by beams welded into thin plates. These …

The present study is focused on the geometric optimization, according to Constructal
Design, of a semi-elliptical morphing fin, ie a fin that can vary its dimensions, inserted into a …

The present work aims at the geometric optimization, by means of constructal design and
exhaustive search, of two rectangular fins inserted in a lid-driven cavity subjected to …

The present numerical study performs a geometrical evaluation of a triangular arrangement
of circular cylinders subjected to transient, two-dimensional, incompressible, laminar, and …

Thin plates are widely used in various engineering applications. In some cases, these
structural components may buckle due to compressive loads, which can be aggravated by …

The application of the Constructal Design method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics
areas is an already consecrated approach to geometrically evaluate these flow engineering …

Present numerical study performs a geometrical optimization by means of Constructal
Design and Exhaustive Search of two alternated rectangular heated bodies mounted in …

Present work performs a numerical study about the energy removal in a heated tubular array
submitted to an external flow. Taking into account that a large variety of tubular …
