Abstract

In order to understand some yet incomprehensible experimental observations on temporal evolution of characteristic length and fractal dimension of a dynamical system, a model simulation has been attempted. It has been shown that the present simulation corroborates well with the trend of the experimentally observed temporal evolutions of fractal dimension and characteristic length during light water hydration of calcium silicates (${\text{C}}_{3}\text{S}$ and ${\text{C}}_{2}\text{S}$) and ordinary Portland cement. The dynamical scaling of the scattering functions was found to be valid during hydration, particularly in intermediate and in late stages of hydration process.
