Using kinetic cellular automata for modeling CO oxidation over Pd110 surface

For simulating CO catalytic oxidation on platinum-group metals, kinetic asynchronous cellular automata (CA) (asynchronous CA with probabilistic transition rules) are used being sometimes referred to as Monte Carlo methods. In this paper, the influence of the rate coefficients values of oxygen adsorption and carbon monoxide absorbtion on the reaction rate on the catalytic surface is experimentally investigated. A range of the main rate coefficients values for which the reaction exists, is defined. Parallel implementation of approximation of kinetic cellular automata with block-synchronous cellular automata are elaborated and investigated.
