Avalanche structure in a running sandpile model

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2002

The probability distribution function of the avalanche size in the sandpile model does not verify strict self-similarity under changes of the sandpile size. Here we show the existence of avalanches with different space-time structure, and each type of avalanche has a different scaling with the sandpile size. This is the main cause of the lack of self-similarity of the probability distribution function of the avalanche sizes, although the boundary effects can also play a role.
