The procedures to calculate the length of a curve and its Hausdorff dimension are described. It is shown that fractal curves generated from straight line segments may be used to generate particles with jagged edges. Such particles may be symmetric or asymmetric. In order to understand the sedimentation rates of such particles, the boundary integral method has been used to determine the drag and torque on them. When the number of jagged edges becomes large, it is found that the drag on the particle is the same as that of an equivalent cylinder.
