Abstract: Fractal dimension is a valuable mathematical tool to quantify the complexity of geometrical structures. In the context of solar supergranulation, the network of convective cells observed on the solar photosphere, fractal dimension can reveal the dependence of the cell shape complexity on solar rotation, phase, magnetic activity level, and thereby provide insight into the underlying dynamics. This information can be useful for comparing observations with models. In particular, study of supergranular fractal dimension can shed light on the turbulence of the magneto-convective process that generates the magnetic structures. Here we briefly review recent research on this topic in the last decade.
Keywords: Fractal dimension, mathematical tool.
