BSE CPD seminar – Constructal Theory of Water Management on 28 April 2011 Organized by the Department of Building Services Engineering, a CPD seminar on Constructal Theory of Water Management was delivered by Professor A. Bejan and Professor S. Lorente on 28 April 2011 (Thursday). The seminar was successfully held with 73 participants attended.
Powerpoint of the CPD lecture Professor Bejan received his BS, MS and PhD degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research covers a wide range of topics in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, convection and porous media. More recently, he developed the constructal law of design in nature. Professor Lorente received her BS, MS and PhD degree from INSA Toulouse, France. Her research interests encompass vascularized materials, constructal theory, porous media, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer.
Presentation by Professor Bejan Presentation by Professor Lorente
Both speakers are experts in Constructal Theory. In this seminar, the speakers gave a detailed analysis on Constructal Theory for application on water resources management. The constructal law states that in order for flow systems to persist in time their configurations must evolve toward flowing more easily, for greater access. In the talk, this design tendency was illustrated with examples from river basin design and the movement on humans on the globe, from land transportation to air mass transit.

In addition, Constructal Theory was illustrated to show how to design networks for the distribution and collection of water on finite-size areas. Finally, the speakers outlined different challenges of transport of water, few large and many small, optimal urban hydraulics systems, understanding underground systems and control of flows.
Well-received talk Participants
The talk is useful in understanding how Constructal Theory can be applied on water management.

“Design” and “evolution” is a physics phenomenon,
summarized by the constructal law (1996):
“For a flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater access to its currents”.

The population of the countries in the Arabian Peninsula is expected to double in fifty years (to 600 million), and only through desalination will the fresh-water resource increase. They are alreadywithdrawing over 75% of their TotalRenewable Water Resources.
Potential Conflict: Turkey has been building dams on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that will reduce flows downstream into Syria and Iraq by 80%.

• Is an optimized network with loops much lessefficient than a dendritic one?
• Does the result on the comparison betweenthe two depend on the complexity level?

Understanding the underground systems
Driving forces: agriculture, industry, transport…
Pressures: sol occupation, use of ressources
States: environmental conditions (physics, chemistry)
Impact : nature and environment, health
Responses: European programs

Rules for underground waters
• Avoid pollution drinkable water
• Once contaminated difficult to clean
• They feed the rivers impact on the qualityof surface water
• Regulation during dry periods

75% of EU inhabitants rely on underground water for their water supply.
But: what about the access?
