The main goal of this research work was to detect the different Cu mineralized zones in the Sungun porphyry deposit in NW Iran using the Spectrum-Volume (S-V) fractal modeling based on the sub-surface data for this deposit. This operation was carried out on an estimated Cu block model based on a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) using the C++ and MATLAB programing. The S-V log-log plot was gene...

This study aims to recognize effect of Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) estimation methods for separation of geochemical anomalies based on soil samples using Concentration-Area (C-A) fractal model in Irankuh area, central Iran. Variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the Pb and Zn distribution. Thresholds values from the C-A log-log plots based on the e...

In the current study, the kinetics of asphaltene particle flocculation is investigated under a shear flow through numerical simulation. The discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the agglomeration and fragmentation processes. In addition, a coalescence model is proposed to consider the attachment of colliding particles. The changes in mean asph...

In this paper, we introduce an L-system based on the fractal geometry to study complex fracture networks. Comparing with other simulation models, the fractal fracture could not only maintain the bifurcation of the fracture geometry but also represent the multi-level feature of the complex fracture networks according to its fractal characteristics. Since the fractal geometry is always connected ...

The classification of the grade of shrink and expansion for the expansive soils is very important work for constructions in expansive soil area. Accurate evaluation of the estate of expansive soil may provide scientific data and basis for the prevention of engineering design and construction. This paper brings forward the classification method for expansive soil based on fractal interpolation t...

Heavy changes have already taken place in the field of wireless communications in 21 century. Yet the demand for opulence and mitigated tautness is very much alive. An antenna with wider bandwidth, multiband operations and low profile characteristics is the cardinal root to all the modern day requirements. Fractal antenna fills this paucity with its unusual properties of self-similarity and mul...

This paper presents rectangular, fractal and proximity coupled patch antennas on a two layer substrate with the air-gap. The antennas have been designed on εr = 2.2, h = 1.5748 mm with initial dimension 49 x 41.01 mm of simple rectangular patch. The simulated resonant frequency of rectangular patch is 2.42 GHz. The fractal antenna and the Fractal antenna with Layered Stack shows the multi band ...

Image compression is an essential technology in multimedia and digital communication fields. Fractal image compression is a potential image compression scheme due to its potential high compression ratio, fast decompression and multi resolution properties. Fractal image compression utilizes the existence of self symmetry of images. Since Bransley gave the concept of fractal image compression in ...
