Fractals, chaos theory

Lahey (1990) indicated the applications of fractal and chaos theory in the field of two-phase flow and heat transfer, especially during density wave oscillations in boiling flow.

A mathematically definable structure which exhibits the property of always appearing to have the same morphology, even when the observer endlessly enlarges portions of it. In general, fractals have three features heterogeneity, setf-similarity, and the absence of a well-defined scale of length. Fractals have become important concepts in modern nonlinear dynamics.

Cantor s middle thirds set. We denote it by the symbol C. It has recently attracted much attention in connection with chaotic scattering and decay processes (see Sections 1.1 above and 2.3 below, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9). Cantor s middle thirds set is also an example of a fractal, a concept very important in chaos theory (see Section 2.3 for more details).

Figure 2.9. The cumulative undersize distribution of fineparticle size is an important way of displaying size distribution data. Shown above, plotted on log-log scales, are the size distributions of the fragments produced when two different amorphous materials were shattered by impact after being cooled to low temperatures [18]. From the perspective of chaos theory and applied fractal geometry explained in more detail in a later chapter, the slope of this type of data line is described as a fractal dimension in data space.

Actively working groups are sure to include physical chemists (experimental and theoretical) and mathematicians (pure and applied). "Graphs theory , "dynamics , "non-linear oscillations , "chaos , "attractor , "synergetics , "catastrophes and finally "fractals these are the key words of modern kinetics. 

As shown below, an attempt is made to solve this problem using the ideas of the renormalization group transformation method and the theory of fractals, which is also called the geometry of chaos. 

This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycles and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalization, fractals, and strange attractors. 

Contemporary scientists have new toy, for the visualization and quantification, called supercomputers. East, reliable, energy consumable, and far from the simple devices, they are the new universal laboratories. This is another proof for the research philosophy of chaos or fractals, first see patterns, then analyze them. Super computers or the ultimate tele-microscope could be used to simulate all of the possible cases of theory or model and to visualize the results. Inputs are collected information, and outputs are transformed information, which can be compared with the information obtained from the experiments in the real world.
