Additional information

This work shows that dissipation behind fractal fences differs to those with regular spacing. This suggests new means for designing control structures that induce sediment deposition to protect from sand drifting, or snow loading. This paper has been cited in Journal of Fluid Mechanics and was one of six recommended readings for the CISM-ERCOFTAC advanced course on "Fractal Flow Design: How to design bespoke turbulence and why" in Udine, Italy, 2013, organized by staff from aeronautics at Imperial College.
