ThermaFlow™ v1.0: Interface-Level Thermal Boundary-Layer Disruption, Controlled Instability, and Spatially Distributed Heat-Transfer Regulation

Abstract

ThermaFlow™ v1.0 presents a scientific and engineering framework for interface-level control of heat transfer through active manipulation of thermal boundary-layer formation, persistence, residence, instability, shear, and spatial distribution. The work consolidates a family of seven U.S. provisional patent disclosures into a unified mechanism-oriented framework. Rather than treating bulk-medium temperature as the sole control variable, the framework examines the state of the body–medium interface itself, including near-surface thermal and hydrodynamic conditions, boundary-layer behavior, tangential shear, controlled interface instability, and independently regulated spatial zones. The publication develops mathematical and engineering descriptions of interface heat flux, boundary-layer dynamics, residence time, shear, disturbance energy, spatial control, and feedback-based regulation. Proposed physiological applications are presented as research hypotheses and experimentally testable engineering propositions rather than established therapeutic effects. The accompanying files include the ThermaFlow™ v1.0 preprint together with the seven underlying U.S. provisional patent disclosures that constitute its primary technical and intellectual-property source basis. Research status: The framework is presented for scientific discussion, engineering evaluation, reproducibility, and further experimental investigation. Proposed physiological or clinical effects require independent experimental validation. No therapeutic efficacy is claimed. Patent Pending — Based on seven U.S. provisional patent applications identified in the accompanying patent disclosures. Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22151085
