The city of future: biourbanism and constructural law [PDF]
, 2016 Nowadays dynamic elements in urban fabric are often concealed by the insertion of stylish new architecture; real patterns of social life (‘bios’), have been replaced by rigid geometric grids and compact building blocks.

Constructal theory of global circulation and climate [PDF]
, 2006 The constructal law states that every flow system evolves in time so that it develops the flow architecture that maximizes flow access under the constraints posed to the flow.

Biophilic urban developments following dynamic flows of tree-shaped architectures [PDF]
, 2015 Latest theories and practices in Biophilic designs of the urban space regard the urban fabric as being composed of several interrelated layers of energetic structure influencing each other in a non-linear manner primarily.

Constructal view of scaling laws of river basins [PDF]
, 2006 River basins are examples of naturally organized flow architectures whose scaling properties have been noticed long ago. Based on data of geometric characteristics, Horton [Horton, R.E., 1932. Drainage basin characteristics. EOS Trans. AGU 13, 350–361.],

Numerical study on equilibrium stability of objects in fluid flow — A case study on constructal law
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2019 Stability of objects in fluid flow is an interesting and significant subject in many fields. From thermodynamics point of view, the constructal law by Bejan et al.

The influence of convective exchanges on Coandã effect [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2019 Modeling Coandã effect has been a fundamental issue in fluid dynamic research in the XX century. It has lost some interest because of the improvement in CFD, even if it could be still important in the area of the preliminary design of aerodynamic devices

Biomimetic and Constructal Design of Alveolus-Inspired Extended Surfaces for Heat Dispersion
Energies, 2022 Biomimetics is a school of design based on taking inspiration from nature to solve complex problems. This is done with the assumption that the natural world already has solutions to many engineering problems that have been refined through trial and error—

Thermodynamic optimization of global circulation and climate [PDF]
, 2005 The constructal law of generation of flow structure is used to predict the main features of global circulation and climate. The flow structure is the atmospheric and oceanic circulation.

Constructal vascularized structures
Open Engineering, 2015 Smart features such as self-healing and selfcooling require bathing the entire volume with a coolant or/and healing agent. Bathing the entire volume is an example of point to area (or volume) flows.
