Article Description

The statistical properties of anisotropic diffusion-limited aggregates (DLA) grown in a strip are investigated. The mean shape of these aggregates being related to the corresponding smooth Saffman-Taylor solutions, a finite-size scaling analysis is applied. This scaling description shows that the anisotropy-induced crossover from isotropic DLA clusters (DF=5/3) to dendritic fractals (DF=3/2) is actually contained in the continuous shape transition of the stable solution, from isotropic fingers of relative width ≫=0.5 to ≫=0 needlelike fingers. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
