We consider zero-temperature, stochastic Ising models with nearest-neighbor interactions in two and three dimensions. Using both symmetric and asymmetric initial configurations, we study the evolution of the system with time. We examine the issue of convergence of the dynamics and discuss the nature of the final state of the system. By determining a relation between the median number of spin flips per site, the probability p that a spin in the initial spin configuration takes the value +1, and lattice size, we conclude that in two and three dimensions, the system converges to a frozen (but not necessarily uniform) state when p is not equal to 1/2. Results for p=1/2 in three dimensions are consistent with the conjecture that the system does not evolve towards a fully frozen limiting state. Our simulations also uncover `striped' and `blinker' states first discussed by Spirin et al., and their statistical properties are investigated.
