Workshop on Constructal Theory of the Generation of Optimal Flow Configurations Held in Rome, Italy on 17-18 March 2005

摘要

This report contains the collected presentations from the Workshop on Constructal Theory Application to Aerospace advanced vehicles considered as Complex Energy Conversion Systems, 16-18 March 2005. This was an interdisciplinary workshop and was by invitation only. Topics include evaluating the possibility of applying 'Constructal Theory' (CT) to the optimization of complex energy conversion systems, with specific regard to advanced aerospace vehicles. The workshop included discussions of configuration optimization procedures that are possible with CT. The workshop goal was toward delivering a set of general guidelines as to the practical design topics in which CT can be applied in the near term.
