Design of a diamond-shaped thermal concentrator with homogeneous materials

We present a diamond-shaped thermal concentrator which can compress heat fluxes along predefined directions, thus yielding a heating region with high temperature gradients. Numerical simulations show that perfect thermal concentrating effect can be achieved for multi-directional heat flux. The coord...
