Abstract

Recently, rapid prog ress has been achieved in the field of coagulation. One of the frontier and key topics is the formation, structure and property of f locs. With the adv ance of non-linear sciences, especially the fractal theory, it provides new methodology and ideas to treat the natural complexity and irregular phenomenon including coagulation process. This paper gives a critical review on the potential application of fractal theory in various aspects of coagulation research.
