Abstract
A master equation for grain growth is suggested for the one-particle distribution of grain areas and topological classes in two-dimensional polycrystals with uniform properties of grain boundaries. The ‘collision’ term for a self-similar mode (normal grain growth) is formulated within the ‘gas’ approximation, assuming equal probabilities of neighbour switchings for all the grain boundaries and ignoring mutual arrangement of grains.Keywords
