Based on the fact that the angular shape of solid grains dispersed in the liquid matrix indicates a singular interface, the coarsening kinetics of angular grains was formulated based on 2-dimensional (2-D) nucleation and solved numerically. For comparison, diffusion-controlled coarsening of grains with a spherical shape was also solved numerically. The solutions showed that coarsening by 2-D nucleation induced abnormal grain growth whilst diffusion-controlled coarsening did not. This result agrees with the general experimental observation that the abnormal grain growth in liquid phase sintering takes place exclusively in the system with angular grains. The ratio of the largest grain size to the average increased monotonously with time in coarsening by 2-D nucleation whilst it decreased in diffusion-controlled coarsening. The artificially-added large grain (10 times larger than the average) became the abnormal grain in 2-D nucleation controlled coarsening but did not in diffusion-controlled coarsening.
