What do fractals tell us?
Fractals help us study and understand important scientific concepts, such as the way bacteria grow, patterns in freezing water (snowflakes) and brain waves, for example. Their formulas have made possible many scientific breakthroughs. Anything with a rhythm or pattern has a chance of being very fractal-like.
Do Fractals have to be self-similar?
We say that fractals have an exact self-similarity, while fractal-like objects have a self-similarity. With fractals we can be precise about what self-similarity means: the object contains small pieces that exactly reproduce the whole object when magnified. This is not necessarily true for the fractal-like objects.
What is another term for self-similarity Fibonacci?
The Fibonacci Word Fractal is a self-similar fractal curve based on the Fibonacci word through a simple and interesting drawing rule.
What is self-similar flow?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the study of partial differential equations, particularly in fluid dynamics, a self-similar solution is a form of solution which is similar to itself if the independent and dependent variables are appropriately scaled.
What does it mean to say a figure has self similarity?
An object is said to be self-similar if it looks “roughly” the same on any scale. Fractals are a particularly interesting class of self-similar objects.
What are PI groups?
If there are n variables in a problem and these variables contain m primary dimensions (for example M, L, T) the equation relating all the variables will have (n-m) dimensionless groups. Buckingham referred to these groups as π groups.
What is similarity transformation in fluid mechanics?
A similarity transformation is utilized to convert the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical method of solution is based on the shooting method with six order Runge-Kutta iteration scheme.
What are the 4 similarity transformations?
A similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation.
What is meant by similarity transformation?
noun Mathematics. Also called homothetic transformation. a mapping of a set by which each element in the set is mapped into a positive constant multiple of itself, the same constant being used for all elements.
