Cellular Automata Method in Studying Recrystallization Process

Abstract

A cellular automaton is a decentralized computing model providing a platform for performing complex computation with the help of only local information. The cellular automata method describes the evolution of a discrete system of variables by applying a set of deterministic (or probabilistic) rules that depend on the values of the variables as well as those in the nearby cells of a regular lattice. In this paper we present some types of cellular automata used for modelling and simulating recrystallization process.
