Sv. Buldyrev et al., AVALANCHES IN THE DIRECTED PERCOLATION DEPINNING AND SELF-ORGANIZED DEPINNING MODELS OF INTERFACE ROUGHENING, Fractals, 4(3), 1996, pp. 307-319
We review the recently introduced Directed Percolation Depinning (DPD)
and Self-Organized Depinning (SOD) models for interface roughening wi
th quenched disorder. The differences in the dynamics of the invasion
process in these two models are discussed and different avalanche defi
nitions are presented. The scaling properties of the avalanche size di
stribution and the properties of active cells are discussed.
