Fractal theory of dome formation

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

This study presents a theoretical model of dome formation during nonsteady flow of polydisperse cohesive free-flowing materials using fractal structures simulating deterministic relationships. A procedure is proposed for analysis of dome shapes based on fractal theory of nonsteady flow. Experimental data on determination of dome shape for a model free-flowing material, which have demonstrated higher accuracy of the proposed method as compared with existing ones, are cited.
