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

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

To better integrate lotic ecosystems into global cycles and budgets, we provide
approximations of the size-distribution and areal extent of streams and rivers. One approach …

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 …

The emergence and development of constructal theory, which has been a new discipline
branch to research sorts of structures in nature and engineering, are reviewed. The core of …

The Earth's topography is shaped by surface processes that operate on various scales. In
particular, river processes control landscape dynamics over large length scales, whereas …

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 …

Abstract The Earth-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) is a device used to improve the thermal
condition of built environments, allowing the reduction of electrical energy consumption of …

Here, we show that the most basic features of tree and forest architecture can be put on a
unifying theoretical basis, which is provided by the constructal law. Key is the integrative …

An improved understanding of changes in flood hazard and the underlying driving
mechanisms is critical for predicting future changes for better adaptation strategies. While …
