Flow systems have two basic features (properties).
ADRIAN BEJANFlow systems have two basic features (properties).
ADRIAN BEJANFlying and swimming is not a coincidence rather it is an illustration of the fact that a universal principle is involved.
ADRIAN BEJANThe designs we see in nature are not the result of chance.
ADRIAN BEJANit must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it.
ADRIAN BEJANThey rise naturally, spontaneously, because they enhance access to flow.
ADRIAN BEJANSerendipity is the way to make discoveries, by accident but also by sagacity , of things one is not in quest of.
ADRIAN BEJANBased on experience, knowledge, it is the creative exploitation of the unforeseen.
ADRIAN BEJANThere is the current that is flowing (for example, fluid, heat, mass, or information) and the design through which it flows.
ADRIAN BEJANThe similarities among animals that are on the surface very different are no coincidence.
ADRIAN BEJANThe fact that the same proportionalities rule optimal running,
ADRIAN BEJANIn fact, animal locomotion is no different than other flows
ADRIAN BEJANAnimate and inanimate they all develop in space and in time such that they optimize the flow of material.
