Diffusion towards a fractal adsorber is a well-researched problem with many applications. While the steady-state flux towards such adsorbers is known to be characterized by the fractal dimension (D{F}) of the surface, the more general problem of time-dependent adsorption kinetics of fractal surfaces remains poorly understood. In this Letter, we show that the time-dependent flux to fractal adsor...

Why does fractal image compression work? What properties must an image have for fractal block coders to work well? What is the implicit image model underlying fractal image compression? The behavior of fractal block coders is clear for deterministically self-similar structures. In this paper we examine the behavior of these coders on statistically self-similar structures. Speci cally, we examin...

in this work, sio2 –zro2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric sol–gel route. the characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. so far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of por...

Compelling evidence exists to show that the structure of molecular clouds is fractal in nature. In this poster, the author reiterates that view and, in addition, asserts that not only is cloud geometry fractal, but that they also have a common characteristic they are similar in shape to the Horsehead in Orion. This shape can be described by the Julia function f(z) = z + c,where both z and c are...

We use the fractional integrals to describe fractal solid. We suggest to consider the fractal solid as special (fractional) continuous medium. We replace the fractal solid with fractal mass dimension by some continuous model that is described by fractional integrals. The fractional integrals are considered as approximation of the integrals on fractals. We derive fractional generalization of the...

Fractal decimation reduces the effective dimensionality D of a flow by keeping only a (randomly chosen) set of Fourier modes whose number in a ball of radius k is proportional to k(D) for large k. At the critical dimension D(c)=4/3 there is an equilibrium Gibbs state with a k(-5/3) spectrum, as in V. L'vov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 064501 (2002). Spectral simulations of fractally decimated t...

21 A theoretical effective thermal conductivity model is derived based on fractal 22 distribution characteristics of nanoparticle aggregation. Considering two different 23 mechanisms of heat conduction including particle aggregation and convention, the 24 model is expressed as a function of the fractal dimension and concentration. In the 25 model, the change of fractal dimension is related to t...

Lowen Department of Electrical Engineering and Center for Telecommunications Research Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, U.S.A. fryu, [email protected] Abstract Presented in this paper is the fractal-shot-noisedriven Poisson process (FSNDP), a self-similar process which permits parsimonious modeling...

We describe the fractal solid by a special continuous medium model. We propose to describe the fractal solid by a fractional continuous model, where all characteristics and fields are defined everywhere in the volume but they follow some generalized equations which are derived by using integrals of fractional order. The order of fractional integral can be equal to the fractal mass dimension of ...
