Abstract
We use a lattice-gas method to simulate the slow flow of a fluid in sy stems with fractal surfaces and volumes. Two systems are studied. One is flow in a single three-dimensional fracture with self-affine surfac es. The other is flow across a three-dimensional diffusion-limited agg regate. In both cases, significant deviations from classical results a re observed.
