Abstract

The study of irregular shapes their self-similarity and randomness is seriously taken by the scientists. The formation of such patterns and parameters affecting their shapes are necessary to study. Such studies provide “bridge between Euclidean geometry and fractal geometry. The processes giving rise to such shapes are usually complex. In the present studies a Hele-Shaw cell is designed to obtain viscous fingering patterns. A SLR camera is used to record complete growth process. Images are selected and digitized for the calculation of fractal dimensions arid results are presented.
