Description

A new stochastic discrete space-time model is proposed to simulate a biased diffusive system of two species in two dimensions. A very simple rule set which prohibits the multiple occupancy of lattice sites by particles while conserving their number, is used to define the dynamics. We found that spatial inhomogeneous bands in high-density states promptly form as the time step increases. The biased diffusive cell automaton (BDCA) model is analyzed and discussed.
