1st International workshop on Applications of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces to Thermal Engineering
The 1st International Workshop on Applications of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces to Thermal Engineering is organized by Energy Department, with the support of the different partners of the EU project.
PRINCESS is an EU-funded project through 2023 CETPartnership joint call, works on CSP receiver and air-to-sCO2 HX, with the goal of developing, prototyping and testing both a novel air solar receiver module equipped withTriply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) and a new TPMS-based air-to-sCO2 heat exchanger, to target efficiency improvement and cost reduction at the same time.
In differential geometry, a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) is a minimal surface in R 3 that is invariant under a rank-3 lattice of translations.
These surfaces have the symmetries of a crystallographic group. Numerous examples are known with cubic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, and orthorhombic symmetries. Monoclinic and triclinic examples are certain to exist, but have proven hard to parametrise.
TPMS are of relevance in natural science. TPMS have been observed as biological membranes, as block copolymers, equipotential surfaces in crystals etc. They have also been of interest in architecture, design and art.
The full list of the different contribution is available in the pdf file.
