For that, more and more effort is devoted to investigate the control mechanism on mass transfer in such a complex and multi-scale system. Apparently, effective characterization of the fractal structure is of fundamental importance. Although the newly emerged concept of complexity assembly clarified the complexity types and their assembly mechanism in a fractal system, equivalent extraction of the complexity types is the key for effective characterization. For these, we proposed a deep learning-based method to extract the original and behavioral complexity assembled in bed-packing fractal porous media for simplification and without loss of generality. In detail, the UNeXt network model was trained to obtain the independent connected regions of scaling objects with different scales, the edge detection and clustering analysis algorithms were employed to extract the number-size relationship between two successive scaling objects, and the unique inversion of fractal behavior was realized by taking the number-size model and fractal topography together. Consequently, an equivalent characterization method for fractal complex pore structure was developed based on the concept of complexity assembly. Our investigation provides a theoretical guidance and method reference for the quantitative characterization of fractal porous media that will guarantee the fundamental requirement for the accurate evaluation of the transport properties of natural reservoir.</p>","PeriodicalId":501262,"journal":{"name":"Fractals","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140632312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have mainly focused on the impact of fractal property on attack vulnerability of scale-free networks under static node attacks, while we extend the study to the cases of various types of targeted attacks, and explore the relationship between the attack vulnerability of fractal scale-free networks and the fractal dimension. A hierarchical multiplicative growth model is first proposed to generate scale-free networks with the same structural properties except for the fractal dimension. Furthermore, the fractal dimension of the network is calculated using two methods, namely, the box-covering method and the cluster-growing method, to exclude the possibility of differences in conclusions caused by the methods of calculating the fractal dimension for the subsequent relationship analysis. Finally, four attack strategies are used to attack the network, and the network performance is quantitatively measured by three structural indicators. Results on model networks show that compared to non-fractal modular networks, fractal scale-free networks are more robust to both static and dynamic targeted attacks on nodes and links, and the robustness of the network increases as the fractal dimension decreases. However, there is a cost in that as the fractal dimension decreases, the network becomes less efficient and more vulnerable to random failures on links. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact of fractal property on scale-free network performance and may be useful for designing resilient infrastructures.</p>","PeriodicalId":501262,"journal":{"name":"Fractals","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140553609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Until now, theoretical studies have not fully considered shale oil transport mechanisms and multi-scale pore structure properties. In this study, we propose a fractal-based oil transport model with uncertainty reduction for a multi-scale shale pore system. The fractal properties of the shale pore system are obtained using high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging combined with laboratory core sample gas permeability measurements to reduce the model uncertainty. This fractal-based oil transport model accounts for boundary slippage, fluid rheology, the adsorption layer, and different pore types. We further pinpoint the effects of the fractal properties (pore fractal dimension, tortuosity fractal dimension), the shale pore properties (pore type, pore size, total organic carbon in volume), and the fluid properties (yield stress, liquid slippage, adsorption layer) on the shale oil permeability and mobile oil saturation using the proposed model. The results reveal that the size of the inorganic pores has the largest influence on the shale oil transport properties, followed by the yield stress, tortuosity fractal dimension, and the fractal dimension of the inorganic pores.</p>","PeriodicalId":501262,"journal":{"name":"Fractals","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140545189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
