Bejan, Adrian

Bejan, Adrian Engineer who developed constructal theory to describe why similar branching flows carry matter and energy in different contexts. Author of Shape and Structure, from Engineering to Nature (2000) and coauthor of Design in Nature (2013). [Pg.269]

The tree-like shape of a river basin allows it to take the paths of least resistance down to the river mouth. Tiny rivulets upstream are repeated and combined into larger flows downstream. The engineer Adrian Bejan has developed a theory for how this flow is built up from its smallest components in almost any material. This efficient complexity happens naturally as water flows down a hill. [Pg.71]
