CA-based Models in Physics

CA-based models, or Cellular Automata models, are computational systems used in physics and other fields to simulate complex behaviors. In these models, space is divided into a grid of cells, each of which can be in a specific state. These states evolve over time based on simple rules that depend on the states of neighboring cells. CA models help scientists understand phenomena like fluid dynamics, diffusion, and even traffic flow by observing how local interactions can lead to intricate patterns and behaviors, illustrating how simple rules can generate complex systems over time.
