Description	Virtual Kinetics of Materials Laboratory : Polycrystalline Growth and Coarsening simulates the growth, impingement, and then coarsening of a random distribution of crystallographically oriented nuclei. The user can control every aspect of the model such as the nuclei radius, the size of the simulation cell, and whether the grains are homogeneously dispersed or only on one wall of the simulation. . Default values are physical but arbitrary. The presented model is based on the phase field method (see cited literature below) and the example shown in the FiPy manual.
