Abstract: Summary We present and study lattice and off-lattice microscopic models in which particles interact via a local anisotropic rule. The rule induces preferential hopping along one direction, so that a net current sets in if allowed by boundary conditions. This may be viewed as an oversimplification of the situation concerning certain traffic and flow problems. The emphasis in our study is on the influence of dynamic details on the resulting (non-equilibrium) steady state. In particular, we shall discuss on the similarities and differences between a lattice model and its continuous counterpart, namely, a Lennard-Jones analogue in which the particles’ coordinates vary continuously. Our study, which involves a large series of computer simulations, in particular reveals that spatial discretization will often modify the resulting morphological properties and even induce a different phase diagram and criticality.
