How anisotropy beats fractality in two-dimensional on-lattice diffusion-limited-aggregation growth

We study the fractal structure of Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) clusters on the square lattice by extensive numerical simulations (with clusters having up to 108 particles). We observe that DLA clusters undergo strongly anisotropic growth, with the maximal growth rate along the axes. The naive...
