    Coarsening of three-dimensional droplets by two-dimensional diffusion: Part I. Experiment

    An experimental study of diffusional coarsening, or Ostwald ripening, in a liquid-liquid two-phase system is described. An experiment performed at its isopycnic point, 42°C, allowed observations for the long t...

    Coarsening of three-dimensional droplets by two-dimensional diffusion: Part II. Theory

    Theoretical modeling of coarsening among a finite cluster of precipitates is implemented, using the multipole expansion method. This method requires the diffusion field to behave quasi-statically. Two approxim...
