Fractals, Scaling and Growth Far From Equilibrium

Klappentext A comprehensive, 1998 account of the practical aspects and pitfalls of the applications of fractal modelling in the physical sciences. Zusammenfassung This 1998 book describes developments in understanding the formation of complex! disorderly patterns under conditions far from equilibrium. The application of fractal geometry and scaling concepts to the quantitative description and understanding is described. Discussion of self-similar fractals! multi-fractals and scaling methods facilitates applications in the physical sciences. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Pattern formation far from equilibrium; 2. Fractals and scaling; 3. The basic models; 4. Experimental studies; 5. The growth of surfaces and interfaces; Appendix I. Instabilities; Appendix II. Multifractals; Bibliography.
