Abstract

The fractal structure of directed percolation clusters, grown at the percolation threshold inside parabolic-like systems, is studied in two dimensions via Monte Carlo simulations. With a free surface at y= Cxk and a dynamical exponent z, the surface shape is a relevant perturbation when k<1/z and the fractal dimensions of the anisotropic clusters vary continuously with k. Analytic expressions for these variations are obtained using a blob picture approach.
