O ct 1 99 4 Orientation of particle attachment and local isotropy in diffusion limited aggregation ( DLA )
نویسنده
چکیده
We simulate 50 off-lattice DLA clusters, one million particles each. The probability distribution of the angle of attachment of arriving particles with respect to the local radial direction is obtained numerically. For increasing cluster size, N , the distribution crosses over extremely accurately to a cosine, whose amplitude decreases towards zero as a power-law in N . From this viewpoint, asymptotically large DLA clusters are locally isotropic. This contradicts previous conclusions drawn from density-density correlation measurements [P. Meakin, and T. Viscek, Phys. Rev. A 32, 685 (1985)]. We present an intuitive phenomenological model random process for our numerical findings. PACS numbers: 61.43Hv, 05.40+j Typeset using REVTEX

Diffusion Limited Aggregation with modified local rules
Results from a modified Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) model are presented. The modifications of the classical DLA model are in the attachment to the cluster rules and in the scheme of particle generation/killing. In the classical DLA model, if a particle reaches the growing cluster, it sticks to it immediately and irreversibly and then the next particle is released. We will abandon this o...
متن کاملComposite Diffusion Limited Aggregation Paintings
Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is a modelling technique for simulating dendritic growth that has seen widespread application in the physical, biological, and social sciences. We introduce an artistic component to the basic technique by adding special effects parameters to a single particle, random walk DLA aggregation scheme. Our goal is to explore the potential of the enhanced scheme as a...
متن کاملSemantically Modified Diffusion Limited Aggregation for Visualizing Large-Scale Networks
Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a model of fractal growth. Computer models can simulate the fast aggregation of millions of particles. In this paper, we propose a modified version of DLA, called semantically modified DLA (SM-DLA), for visualizing large-scale networks. SM-DLA introduces similarity measures between particles so that instead of attaching to the nearest particle in the aggre...
متن کاملLinear relationship statistics in diffusion limited aggregation.
We show that various surface parameters in two-dimensional diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) grow linearly with the number of particles. We find the ratio of the average length of the perimeter and the accessible perimeter of a DLA cluster together with its external perimeters to the cluster size, and define a microscopic schematic procedure for attachment of an incident new particle to the c...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of diffusion - limited aggregation on the torus
The results of numerical simulations of diffusion-limited aggregation on the torus are presented. The usual random walk was generalised by allowing the particle to perform jumps of length equal to s lattice spacings, s 3 1. Patterns with periodic structure were obtained. Recently there has been an increasing interest in the study of irreversible kinetic processes leading to the formation of fra...
