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.

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—
