Sintering is a complex physical and chemical process under the action of many kinds of factors. The computer simulation technology is a powerful tool to study the complicated sintering process. The advances of computer simulation method for particle sintering process in the past ten years were summarized in this paper. The researches on Monte Carlo method, phase field method, finite element method, molecular dynamics method and discrete element method were reviewed respectively, and the representative achievements of each method were introduced. Moreover, the advantages and the disadvantages of each numerical method were given. It provides a comprehensive understanding of simulation method of sintering process.
