Abstract: | The evolution of a compact structure under surface evaporation, diffusion and subsequent re-deposition is studied numerically in d = 2. After a transitory regime, the evolution leads to the spontaneous apparition of a dynamic fractal morphology exhibiting a dimension of order Df = 1.6. The final morphology plays the role of a statistical dynamic attractor. This effect indicates that fractal structures can result from the irreversible evolution of dynamical processes towards internal equilibrium. |
