A random number model based on fractal geometry theory is developed to calculate the thermal contact conductance (TCC) of two rough surfaces in contact. This study is carried out by geometrical and mechanical investigations. The present study reveals that the fractal parameters D and G have important effects on TCC. The predictions by the proposed model are compared with existing experimental data, and good agreement is observed by fitting parameters D and G. The results show that the effect of the bulk resistance on TCC, which is often neglected in existing models, should not be neglected for the relatively larger G and D. The main advantage of this model is the randomization of roughness distributions on rough surfaces. The present results also show a better agreement with the practical situation than the results of other models. The proposed technique may have the potential in prediction of other phenomena such as friction, radiation, wear and lubrication on rough surfaces.
