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...
