Simulation of grain growth using Monte Carlo technique
- Simulation of grain growth using Monte Carlo technique on a microstructure prepared using Voronoi tessellation
- Monte Carlo technique is for grain growth especially attractive as
- the statistical behavior of the atoms is properly reproduced
- microstructural evolution depends only on the real topology of the grains and not on any kind of geometric simplification.
- Read more on Monte Carlo simulations here
- Initial microstructure is prepare using Voronoi tesselation which produces controllable grain sizes and grain boundaries that obeys physical laws (Read more here)
- Voronoi tessellation is peformed using inbuilt MATLAB functions, in the file 'mat_voronoi_gen.m' which is then imported as an image into C++ and manipulated using OpenCV libraries
- Code written in C++
