1. IntroductionRough surfaces widely exist in natures such as roadsurface, airplane surface, metal surface, tube surface,channel surface, earth surface, etc.
Roughness of surfaces significantly influences the flowresistance when fluid flows through rough surfaces.
Absolutely smooth surface does not exists!

Mandelbrot in his book: The Fractal Geometry of Natureproposed that the cumulative size distribution of islands on earth follows the fractal scaling law:
where N is the total number of islands of area (A) greater than a, and Df is the fractal dimension of the surface.

7. Concluding remarksAnalytical solution for flow resistance in roughened channels can be obtained based on fractal geometry, but it was impossible based on Euclid geometry.
The flow resistance in roughened channels based on Weierstrass-Mandelbrot (W-M) function is open.The flow resistance in roughened channels based onCantor set model is also open.The flow resistance in roughened natural fracturesbased on fractal geometry is also open.
