Realizing the thinnest hydrodynamic cloak in porous medium flow
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Transformation mapping theory offers us great versatility to design invisible cloaks for the physical fields whose propagation equations remain invariant under coordinate transformations. Such cloaks are typically designed as a multi-layer shell with anisotropic material properties, which makes no disturbance to the external field. As a result, an observer outside the cloak cannot detect the existence of this object from the field disturbances, leading to the invisible effect in terms of field prorogation.
