Abstract
This paper presents a brief but general introduction to the physics and engineering of fractals, followed by a brief introduction to fluid turbulence generated by multiscale flow actuation. Numerical computations of such turbulent flows are now beginning to be possible because of the immersed boundary method (IBM) and terascale parallel high performance computing capabilities. The first-ever direct numerical simulation (DNS) results of turbulence generated by fractal grids are detailed and compared with recent wind tunnel measurements.
