Calculating the Parameters of the Fractal Aggregates Formed in a Bidisperse Suspension

Abstract

The fractal properties of aggregates (clusters) formed in a bidisperse (two-phase) suspension through the attachment of fine particles to a coarse fraction, taking the dependency of the fractal dimension of the aggregate on its size into account, are studied. The correlation coupling parameters of the initial and limiting states of the suspension (for the complete aggregation of the primary particles) is obtained based on the balance of the number of particles. The influence of the key parameters of the suspension, as well as of the factor of variable fractal dimension on the typical characteristics of fractal clusters, is analyzed.
