Abstract
A granular media lattice-gas model is used to study avalanches in a tw o-dimensional granular pile. We demonstrate the efficiency of the algo rithm by showing that several features of the noncritical behavior of real sandpile surfaces, such as the bounded outflow statistics or the finite-size effect of the time evolution of the pile mass, can be repr oduced by this simulation approach.
