Cellular automata offer a powerful modeling framework to describe and study physical systems composed of interacting components. The potential of this approach is demonstrated in the case of applications taken from various fields of physics, such as reaction‐diffusion systems, pattern formation phenomena, fluid flows and road traffic models.
