This is one of the most fascinating theories developed in recent times which actually gives a very different insight into nature and its structure . For example in the field in thermodynamics it replaces the black boxes , we as mechanical engineers assume while designing any system by actually delving into the flow configuration.
The core of the theory is the constructal law :
“For a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to survive) its configuration must evolve in such a way that it provides an easier access to the currents that flow through it”
This principle predicts natural configuration across the board: river basins, turbulence, animal design (allometry, vascularization, locomotion), cracks in solids, dendritic solidification, Earth climate, droplet impact configuration, etc. The same principle yields new designs for electronics, fuel cells, and tree networks for transport of people, goods, and information.
An amazing way to describe phenomena around us . To what extent is it adopted by the industry is something we have to wait n watch ....
Cya ... Have a gr8 day ahead ....

I have assumed the literal meaning of the sentence. Shouldn't it be flow near it than flow through it.
