Computer simulation of grain growth

Abstract A variety of computer simulation techniques have been developed to described grain growth in polycrystalline materials and the evolution of cellular patterns in other systems. Most techniques have now been developed to the degree that they can be used to analyze idealized microstructural evolution processes, and, in some cases, answer questions which arise from experimental observations or engineering goals. The development of crystallographic texture, the effect of dispersions of second phase particles, and the nature of grain structure evolution in thermally inhomogeneous environments have also attracted considerable interest.
