Abstract

We adapt tools of transformation optics, governed by a (elliptic) wave equation, to thermodynamics, governed by the (parabolic) heat equation. We apply this new concept to an invibility cloak in order to thermally protect a region (a dead core) and to a concentrator to focus heat flux in a small region. We finally propose a multilayered cloak consisting of 20 homogeneous concentric layers with a piecewise constant isotropic diffusivity working over a finite time interval (homogenization approach).

Figures (4)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Principle of an invisibility cloak and a concentrator for heat flux. (a) Sketch of the transformed metric (dotted lines) for an invisibility cloak of inner and outer boundaries described by radii R1(θ) and R2(θ) depending upon the angular variable θ. The metamaterial consists of a coating (in blue) with anisotropic heterogeneous conductivity as described in section 3.1. The invisibility region is shown in red; (b) Sketch of the transformed metric (dotted lines) for a concentrator of inner and outer boundaries described by radii R1(θ) and R3(θ) depending upon the angular variable θ. The boundary R2(θ) (in pink) is virtual and only serves the purpose of the geometric transform. The metamaterial consists of an inner region (in red) and a coating (in blue) filled with anisotropic heterogeneous conductivities as described in section 3.2.

Fig. 2 Diffusion of heat from the left on a cloak with R1 = 2.10−4m and R2 = 3.10−4m. The temperature is normalized throughout time on the left side of the cell. Snapshots of temperature distribution at t = 0.001s (a), t = 0.005s (b), t = 0.02s (c), t = 0.05s (d). Streamlines of thermal flux are also represented with white color in panel (d). The mesh formed by streamlines and isothermal values illustrates the deformation of the transformed thermal space: the central disc (‘invisibility region’) is a hole in the metric, which is curved smoothly around it.

Fig. 3 Diffusion of heat from the left on a concentrator with R1 = 1.10−4m, R2 = 2.10−4m and R3 = 3.10−4m. The temperature is normalized throughout time on the left side of the cell. Snapshots of heat distribution at t = 0.002s (a), t = 0.005s (b), t = 0.01s (c) and t = 0.02s (d). Streamlines of thermal flux are also represented with white color in panel (d). The mesh formed by streamlines and isothermal values illustrates the deformation of the transformed thermal space: it is squeezed into the central disc.

Fig. 4 Diffusion of heat from the left on a multilayered cloak of inner radius R1 = 1.5 10−4m and outer radius R2 = 3 10−4m, consisting of 20 homogeneous layers of equal thickness and of respective diffusivities (in unit of 10−5.m2.s−1) 1680.70, 0.25, 80.75, 0.25, 29.39, 0.25, 16.37, 0.25, 10.99, 0.25, 8.18, 0.25, 6.50, 0.25, 5.40, 0.25, 4.63, 0.25, 4.06,0.25 in a bulk material of diffusivity 10−5m2.s−1 (inner disc and homogeneous region outside the concentric layers). Importantly, one layer in two has the same diffusivity. Snapshots of heat distribution at t = 0.01s (a) and t = 0.05s (b) show that normalized temperature is non vanishing inside the inner disc (invisibility region), but it never exceeds a half of the maximum value of temperature (even for t > 0.05s). We note the similarities with Fig. 2.
