Extraction of the 3-D capacity dimension from 2-D projections of fractal flocs

The optical measurements of flocs foreseen in the settling column are 2-D projections of 3-D fractal structures formed in a turbulent environment by means of aggregation and break-up processes. Based on numerical analysis, the resulting structures appear non-homogenous fractals with a full spectrum of fractal dimensionalities, MAGGI(2002). The...
