Abstract

The grain growth phenomenon in polycrystalline materials and its corresponding analogy with domain growth in foams is well documented in the scientific literature. In this work, experimental results on pinned cell growth are communicated for two-dimensional growth in foams. Also, the size distribution of the final arrangement is described in the theoretical framework of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Fair concordance with our reported data is achieved. © 2003 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
