This paper proposed a statistical dynamic framework to analyze the physical mechanisms of sludge drying process. Based on the new method, the fractal dimension of a drying structure was derived analytically and its relationship with some controlling factors was analyzed. Experiments were performed to validate the theoretical analyses and good agreement was found. Not only provides a reasonable mechanistic description of internal structures of drying sludge, this work is of help to many industrial applications.
