This open access book describes the theory of transformation thermotics and its extended theories for the active control of macroscopic thermal phenomena of artificial systems, which is in sharp contrast to classical thermodynamics comprising the four thermodynamic laws for the passive description of macroscopic thermal phenomena of natural systems. This monograph consists of two parts, i.e., inside and outside metamaterials, and covers the basic concepts and mathematical methods, which are necessary to understand the thermal problems extensively investigated in physics, but also in other disciplines of engineering and materials. The analyses rely on models solved by analytical techniques accompanied by computer simulations and laboratory experiments. This monograph can not only be a bridge linking three first-class disciplines, i.e., physics, thermophysics, and materials science, but also contribute to interdisciplinary development.

Liu-Jun Xu received the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in June 2022. Ji-Ping Huang received the Ph.D degree in Physics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China, in 2003. Since 2005, he has been a Professor in the Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. He was a Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation (Germany) in 2004–2005. His current research interests include theoretical thermotics and thermal metamaterials.
