Two-dimensional soap froths and polycrystalline networks: Why are large cells many-sided?

Abstract

The correlation between the area of a cell and its number of sides found in coarsening two-dimensional networks (soap froths and polycrystalline materials) is studied both analytically and by numerical simulation. This shape-size correlation is explained as a dynamical consequence of the shape-dependent growth rate of the cells.
