Phase transformation kinetics of Voronoi cells in space tessellation governed by the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model

On the basis of the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (KJMA) method for space tessellation the kinetics of Voronoi cell filling, by central grain growth, has been studied as a function of the cell size. This is done by solving an integral equation for which a class of solutions is obtained in closed form, where the cell-size probability density is the Gamma distribution function. The computation gives the time evolution of the mean grain size, as a function of cell volume, which is further employed for describing the grain-size probability density function. The present approach is applied to determine, analytically, the exact grain-size distribution function in 1D and the size distributions in 2D and 3D through approximation.
