Using a Fractal Program to Model Vortical Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
While extraordinarily complex in their physics, vortices have always been a part of human culture. This work presents a technique for simulating vortical flows using a fractal program on a personal computer. The resulting flows model real flows in some respects and demonstrate periodicity, chaos, and fractal structures. Also, the aesthetic interest of vortical flows introduces an opportunity for the artist to go beyond the spirals typically found in fractal art.

Chaotic Analysis and Prediction of River Flows
Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...
متن کاملScaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
متن کاملA new spherical shallow-water model: building in wave–vortex decomposition
A new approach to simulating spherical shallow-water flows is described and illustrated. The approach exploits the distinction between slow vortical motions and fast gravity waves at leading order. Contour advection is used for the vortical part, specifically for the potential vorticity. This allows an accurate representation of the vortical dynamics at modest grid resolution. New variables are...
متن کاملEffects of Different Turbulence Models in Simulation of Unsteady Tip Leakage Flow in Axial Compressor Rotor Blades Row
Characteristics of rotor blade tip clearance flow in axial compressors can significantly affect their performance and stable operation. It may also increase blade vibrations and cause detrimental noises. Therefore, this paper is contributed to investigate tip leakage flow in a low speed isolated axial compressor rotor blades row. Simulations are carried out on near-stall condition, which is val...
