Description

Flow systems can evolve toward greater efficiency by adapting, or ‘morphing’, their configuration to decrease flow resistance. Flow channels function in concert with the structures around them, as a combination of long and fast flows along the channels, with short and slow flows through the surrounding medium. The ability to predict flow patterns enables engineers to propose flow designs for heat, mass, and fluid flows. Our previous work theorized the deterministic nature of morphing and showed how to obtain efficient flow configurations for combined and sometimes competing objectives.

In this talk we will consider applications ranging from the control of ionic species transport, energy storage based on thermochemical reactions and the design of capillary networks for the cooling of high-power electronic components.
