Calculate the fractal dimension for the two-dimensional fractal in Figure 2.15. 

Another fractal structure of interest is considered by Adler (1986). A three-dimensional fractal suspension may be constructed from a modified Menger sponge, as shown in Fig. 7(b). A scaling argument permitted calculating the effective viscosity of such a suspension however, this viscosity should be compared with numerical results for the solution of Stokes equations in such a geometry before this rheological result is accepted unequivocally. 

The anomalous diffusivity described by Eq. [13] is due entirely to the fractal nature of the diffusing particle s trajectory in free space. In fractal and multifractal porous media, the diffusing particle s trajectory is further constrained by the geometry of the pore space (Cushman, 1991 Giona et al., 1996 Lovejoy et al., 1998). As a result, when fractional Brownian motion occurs in a two-dimensional fractal porous medium, De becomes scale-dependent, as described by the following equation (Orbach, 1986 Crawford et al., 1993),... 

The fractal dimension of the pore wall can be calculated from the bimodal image. The value obtained for various ACFs was in the range of 1.66 to 1.75, which may correspond to a three-dimensional fractal dimension of 2.66 to 2.75 [7]. Almost the same fiactal dimensions were determined by the same analysis procedure on viscose rayon-based activated carbon fibers [19]. 

It is clear that the chain fragments with the molecular mass are considered in a plane (d = 2) and the formation of clusters is discussed in a volume (d = 3). The D value calculated from Equation (11.39) for a two-dimensional fractal can be used to find the value for a three-dimensional fractal by applying Equation (11.27) to the dimension df. This method is not highly accurate but simple. Equation (11.51) makes it possible to determine the fraction of volume P occupied by vortices of the scale. Assuming that the P and (p,i values are equal, the value can be calculated from the relationship ... 

Let us consider the physical sense of the parameter Df. It is obvious that the value of Df obtained from the slope of a straight line. In N -ln rif (Figure 15.1), is the average of the values. Nevertheless the microvoids of the fluctuation free volume form a DF dimensional fractal cluster.

The fate of nuclei is partiele eoagulation, a process in which small particles (assumed to be spherical) collide with each other and coalesce completely to form larger spherical particles. Small particles are indeed spheroidal and the assumption of spherical particles seems to be reasonable (Mitchell and Frenklach 2003, Balthasar et al. 2005). After a certain size, however, the partieles cannot coalesce completely and start to form long chains, which eventually grow into three-dimensional fractal-like structures. Fig. 4.15 shows the new partiele formation and growth pathways. A great role is played by the surface coating of primary hydrophilic soot... 

Snidaro et al. [59] used CSLM to measure the positions of bacteria in aggregates in three-dimensional space. Once the data were obtained they used a three-dimensional sandbox approach to measure the fractal dimension, with the sandbox centred on the centre of mass of the aggregate. They also used a two-dimensional sandbox method to obtain the two-dimensional fractal dimension, related to the usual through the codimension rule. Small aggregates were shown to have a compact structure using both the two- and three-dimensional approaches. 

Confocal optical microscopy can be used to take a sequence of randomly chosen images through a bacterial floe. Methodologies for calculation of three-dimensional fractal dimensions have been described for this approach [18-20]. One method determines the fractal dimension of each section 7)f using a two-point correlation function C(r) [20] ...

Apparently, the values of D calculated in a similar way are the average characteristics hnt, nevertheless, they allow an important conclusion to be made microvoids of fluctuation free volume form D -dimensional fractal cluster or such microvoids in totality has a certain (fractal) strncture in general. The distrihntion of the sizes of the power particles is widespread in nature. Whirl cascades in developed turbulence...
