Análisis fractal de la red de drenaje del arroyo Feliciano (Entre Ríos, Argentina)

Abstract

The investigation in a great diversity of areas is adopting the concept of the fractal geometry; that was established for the first time by Benoit B. Mandelbrot in1975 and has every time bigger application in all the fields of the knowledge. The main concept of this new geometry is the dimension fractal D that is a property of the object, which how so much squatter indicates the space that contains it and she can acquire continuous values in the space of the real numbers between 0 and 3. This work presents the application of methods to obtain the dimension fractal of the stream Feliciano and their network. One of them is the graphic method of Box-Counting and the other one is based on empiric equations that use the parameters of Horton. The results show that the stream Feliciano can be seen as an object fractal, if they are compared with those presented by diverse authors in the consulted bibliography.
