sintering

Sintering of 40 000 particles with coarsening.


Largest particles grow at the expense of small ones. Material properties are those of copper at 900°C.
Particle size 12µm initially. Final particle size 40 µm.
Periodic conditions are imposed (this is why particles comes in and out of the simulation box).
