A novel implementation of a boundary integral method is used to compute the flow around models of marine aggregates made of cubic particles. These aggregates have a fractal structure and two formation mechanisms, each with a corresponding fractal dimension. The drag, torque, and straining force on these aggregates is characterized as a function of an appropriate measure of their size.
