Topology optimization of heat conduction problems using the finite volume method (2006, background): “The works of Bejan (2000) and Bejan and Ledezma (1998) introduce the idea of considering the flow of heat from a volume to a single point as a way of attacking the minimization of travel time in an urban area.”
Constructal multi-scale structure for maximal heat transfer density (2003, methodology): “The algorithms were generated by the constructal principle of optimization of global performance subject to global constraints [ 1 ].”
