difusiónlimited

Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) is a process where particles move randomly in a space and aggregate to form a cluster when they come into contact with it. This phenomenon is observed in various natural and artificial systems, such as the growth of frost patterns on windows, the formation of soot aggregates in flames, and the clustering of colloids in suspensions.

The DLA process can be simulated using computer algorithms that model the random motion of particles. In these simulations, particles are released one at a time from a distance away from the growing cluster. Each particle moves randomly until it comes into contact with the cluster, at which point it sticks and becomes part of the cluster. This process is repeated until the desired cluster size is achieved.

DLA clusters exhibit fractal properties, meaning they have a complex, self-similar structure that can be magnified indefinitely. The fractal dimension of DLA clusters is typically between 1.7 and 1.8, depending on the specific conditions of the simulation.

DLA has been studied extensively in the fields of physics, chemistry, and materials science, as it provides insights into the growth and structure of complex systems. It has also been used as a model for understanding the formation of aggregates in various natural and industrial processes.
