Constructal theory

The constructal theory explain in a simple manner the shapes that arises in the nature.

This theory replace the belief that nature was fractal, and allow to design and analize systems under constraints in a quest for optimality.

This theory allow the design and understanding of natural systems, thermal disipators, comunication networks, etc...

The constructal theory was invented by Adrian Bejan.
