When Discs Hit-and-Stick, Nature Plays a Weird Trick
Physics Education, v56 n5 Article 055014 Sep 2021
We present a computer-based experiment that simulates the accretion process and generates fluffy aggregates with fractal nature. The Box Counting is performed without the aid of an image processing tool by using the coordinate information of the constituents of the aggregate. A simple algorithm to create aggregate and calculate box-dimension will introduce fractals to students in universities and schools.
