Natural constructal emergence of vascular design with turbulent flow
Here, we show that vascular design emerges naturally when a volume is bathed by a single stream in turbulent flow. The stream enters the volume, spreads itself to bathe the volume, and then reconstitutes itself as a single stream before it exits the volume. We show that in the pursuit of a smaller global flow resistance and larger volumes, the flow architecture changes stepwise from a stack of ...
متن کاملConstructal Law of Vascular Trees for Facilitation of Flow
Diverse tree structures such as blood vessels, branches of a tree and river basins exist in nature. The constructal law states that the evolution of flow structures in nature has a tendency to facilitate flow. This study suggests a theoretical basis for evaluation of flow facilitation within vascular structure from the perspective of evolution. A novel evolution parameter (Ev) is proposed to qu...

متن کاملThe emergence of isolated coherent vortices in turbulent flow
A study is made of some numerical calculations of two-dimensional and geostrophic turbulent flows. The primary result is that, under a broad range of circumstances, the flow structure has its vorticity concentrated in a small fraction of the spatial domain, and these concentrations typically have lifetimes long compared with the characteristic time for nonlinear interactions in turbulent flow (...
متن کاملThe constructal law of design and evolution in nature.
Constructal theory is the view that (i) the generation of images of design (pattern, rhythm) in nature is a phenomenon of physics and (ii) this phenomenon is covered by a principle (the constructal law): 'for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it'. This law is about the necessit...
