Abstract
By identifying anisotropic scaling as the dominant feature of a lattice gas driven by a strong electric field, I obtain finite-size scaling forms by extending exact field-theoretic results. These are texted and supplemented by extensive Monte Carlo simulations in two dimensons. Excellent agreements are found. This resolves the disagreements between simulations and theories on the universality of the related models. Novel features of the finite-size effects of intrinsically anisotropic systems are emphasized.Keywords
