Notes:
An improved serial computation method is proposed for simulating ceramic grain growth at anatomic scale. The data structure of a ternary tree is used to store orderly the atomic information and speedup the editing of data. Combining with the idea of space partition, an index for space searching isestablished to reduce the computation time. Simulation results demonstrate that the speed of the serialcomputation is increased significantly and simulated images are in good agreement with micrographs ofpractical ceramics. It is illustrated that kinetic exponents and fractal dimensions during the simulation ofgrain growth are also reasonable in compare with quantitative analyses
