This paper is devoted to fractal continuum hydrodynamics and its application to model fluid flows in fractally permeable reservoirs. Hydrodynamics of fractal continuum flow is developed on the basis of a self-consistent model of fractal continuum employing vector local fractional differential operators allied with the Hausdorff derivative. The generalized forms of Green-Gauss and Kelvin-Stokes theorems for fractional calculus are proved. The Hausdorff material derivative is defined and the form of Reynolds transport theorem for fractal continuum flow is obtained. The fundamental conservation laws for a fractal continuum flow are established. The Stokes law and the analog of Darcy's law for fractal continuum flow are suggested. The pressure-transient equation accounting the fractal metric of fractal continuum flow is derived. The generalization of the pressure-transient equation accounting the fractal topology of fractal continuum flow is proposed. The mapping of fluid flow in a fractally permeable medium into a fractal continuum flow is discussed. It is stated that the spectral dimension of the fractal continuum flow ds is equal to its mass fractal dimension D, even when the spectral dimension of the fractally porous or fissured medium is less than D. A comparison of the fractal continuum flow approach with other models of fluid flow in fractally permeable media and the experimental field data for reservoir tests are provided.

ARi is the inventor of fractal technology for the distribution and collection of fluids. Fluid distribution is a common requirement in processes such as chromatography, ion exchange, distillation, and other applications where plug flow characteristics are important. In these processes, effective fluid distribution is necessary to maximize efficiency and performance.

Fractal distributors are designed to exhibit symmetry at every scale. Any individual fluid path from the center inlet to an exit point can be used to generate all other paths, creating universal path symmetry. This results in equivalent hydraulics (equivalent flow rate, equivalent time of passage, and equivalent pressure drop) to each exit point, providing plug flow characteristics. Fractals operate with very low pressure drop and large turndown, with a typical turndown ratio of 10 to 1.

The symmetry of fractal distributors ensures that their performance will not vary from small to large scale. This overcomes scale-up problems often encountered when taking a process from pilot to full-scale operation. ARi has designed fractal distributors ranging from a pilot-scale diameter of a few centimeters to an industrial-scale diameter of over 20 feet, while maintaining the distributor performance.

In this study, some important intrinsic dynamics have been captured after analyzing the relationships between the dynamic pressure at an outlet of centrifugal compressor and fractal characteristics, which is one of powerful descriptions in entropy to measure the disorder or complexity in the nonlinear dynamic system. In particular, the fractal dynamics of dynamic pressure of the flow is studied, as the centrifugal compressor is in surge state, resulting in the dynamic pressure of flow and becoming a serious disorder and complex. First, the dynamic pressure at outlet of a centrifugal compressor with 800 kW is tested and then obtained by controlling the opening of the anti-surge valve at the outlet, and both the stable state and surge are initially tested and analyzed. Subsequently, the fractal dynamics is introduced to study the intrinsic dynamics of dynamic pressure under various working conditions, in order to identify surge, which is one typical flow instability in centrifugal compressor. Following fractal dynamics, the Hurst exponent, autocorrelation functions, and variance in measure theories of entropy are studied to obtain the mono-fractal characteristics of the centrifugal compressor. Further, the multi-fractal spectrums are investigated in some detail, and their physical meanings are consequently explained. At last, the statistical reliability of multi-fractal spectrum by modifying the original data has been studied. The results show that a distinct relationship between the dynamic pressure and fractal characteristics exists, including mono-fractal and multi-fractal, and such fractal dynamics are intrinsic. As the centrifugal compressor is working under normal condition, its autocorrelation function curve demonstrates apparent stochastic characteristics, and its Hurst exponent and variance are lower. However, its autocorrelation function curve demonstrates an apparent heavy tail distribution, and its Hurst exponent and variance are higher, as it is working in an unstable condition, namely, surge. In addition, the results show that the multi-fractal spectrum parameters are closely related to the dynamic pressure. With the state of centrifugal compressor being changed from stable to unstable states, some multi-fractal spectrum parameters Δα, Δf(α), αmax, and f(αmin) become larger, but αmin in the multi-fractal spectrum show the opposite trend, and consistent properties are graphically shown for the randomly shuffled data. As a conclusion, the proposed method, as one measure method for entropy, can be used to feasibly identify the incipient surge of a centrifugal compressor and design its surge controller.

Landsat is unique in its ability to image both the small-scale eddies that mix clear and cloudy air, down to the 30 meter pixel size of Landsat, but also having a wide enough field-of-view, 180 km, to reveal the connection of the turbulence to large-scale flows such as the subtropical oceanic gyres. Landsat 7, with its new onboard digital recorder, has extended this capability away from the few Landsat ground stations to remote areas such as Alejandro Island, and thus is gradually providing a global dynamic picture of evolving human-scale phenomena.

While the heat flow solutions of all three models, PSM, GDH1 and CHABLIS have singularity at the zero age, the common explanation about the cause of singularity is due to discrepancy between boundary conditions at the ridge crest where both depth and age are zero19,20,40. A model assuming a non-uniform temperature distribution at the ridge crest as initial condition was proposed which yields predicted heat flow curves free of a singularity40. In that model it introduced a new parameter 1/m representing the proportion of the upper cooling part of lithosphere in which the temperature reduced from T1 to T0 at the surface. 1/m can also be reviewed as relative depth of heat source in respect to the total thickness of lithosphere. This thermal model allows one to estimate the depth of the cooling below ridge crest (excluding zero) from heat flow measurement. If 1/m approaches to zero or m to infinity, the predicted heat flow solution reduced to the same as obtained by PSM model. Since the mid-ridge is usually considered the place where the asthenosphere and lithosphere meet, the cooling depth at the ridge can be thought as close to zero, thus the solution with singularity at the zero age. In the current paper, we will show that the fractal density of seafloor around the ridge crest can also cause singularity which has never been accounted previously in heat flow modelling. The singularity affects the cooling model especially the solution valid in the young age seafloor. It will show that account of the effect of fractal density will reduce the divergence between observed heat flow and the predicted heat flow by cooling models.

Heat flows are from sites in the North Pacific (north of Equator) and Northwest Atlantic. The averaged data in 2-Myr bins are denoted by dots and the standard deviation about the mean is denoted by the envelope. Red curves denote the results fitted using the Parsons and Sclater model (PSM), a cooling half-space model (HS) and the GDHl plate model (after Stein and Stein8). The solid black curve denotes the fit derived from the model presented here.

The dots represent the measured data (from Stein and Stein25), the dashed line denotes the fitted curve obtained using the GDH1 model and the solid lines symbolize the fitted curves obtained using the presented model.

Since density is a fundamental physical parameter involved in the thermal models (PSM, GDH1 and CHABLIS) used for prediction of heat flow at the mid ocean ridges, we will first introduce a new definition of fractal density with nonlinear property which was ignored by the traditional dynamics systems. The principle of density was discovered by the Greek scientist Archimedes approximately 2000 years ago. Density has become a foundational property of mass and energy and a well-known physical concept with a variety of applications in nearly all fields of study. The density of material or energy is defined as its mass or energy per unit volume. Therefore, density often has units of mass over volume (e.g., g/cm3, kg/m3) or energy over volume (J/cm3, w/L3).
