Fluid distribution optimization in porous media using leaf venation patterns

Fluid distribution optimization in porous media using leaf venation patterns

Several examples of nearly optimal transport networks can be found in nature. These networks effectively distribute and drain fluids throughout a medium. Evidence suggests that blood vessels of the circulatory system, airways in the lungs and veins of leaf venations are examples of networks that hav...
