These flows have objectives (e.g., minimization of effort, travel time, cost), and the objectives clash with global constraints (space, time, resources). The result is organization (flow architecture) derived from one principle of configuration evolution in time (the constructal law): "for a flow system to persist in time, its configuration must morph such that it provides easier access to its streams."...Constructal theory predicts animal design and geophysical flows, and makes evolution a part of physics. In the social sciences, there is substantial literature based on the use of optima to deduce social, population and economic dynamics. The constructal approach of this book links social sciences with physics, biology and engineering. The book explores the deterministic principle that generates a broad array of patterned phenomena, in demography, geography, communications, hierarchy, and multiple scales. | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2007 | 关键词 | chaos; constructal; determinism; flow; movement design; nature; organizations; social systems; sociology; dat | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-47681-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-4295-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-47681-0 | copyright | Springer-Verlag US 2007 |
