Strongly connected percolation on directed lattices
We study percolation on lattices with directed bonds, focusing on the behavior of strongly-connected percolation clusters -- clusters in which every site is reachable from every other along a directed path. We consider the two-dimensional square lattice and various globally isotropic arrangements of the directions of the bonds. Performing simulations using a range of algorithmic approaches, we calculate high-precision values for critical exponents, fractal dimensions, crossing probabilities, and percolation thresholds for bond percolation with each bond arrangement. We find that the critical behavior is in a distinctly different universality class from that of traditional undirected percolation, but that all bond arrangements appear to fall in the same universality class.
