Abstract

Cell dynamics simulation (CDS) is a fast method to simulate kinetic processes in phase separating systems of large sizes. We review this method applied to block copolymer systems and illustrate it on a set of physical phenomena occurring in these systems. Achievements of CDS demonstrate, that the method can describe such complex phenomena rather well and therefore, is a complementary method to other more elaborate but slow techniques to which it can serve as a precursor.
