Popis: For the case of uniform grain boundaries the basic equations of the statistical theory of grain growth (GG) of the present authors are shortly reviewed and compared to the classical Hillert model. On the basis of this present theory normal and abnormal 3-D GG is simulated and particularly the effect of the initial grain size distribution function (SDF) on the GG behaviour which may lead to normal or abnormal GG is demonstrated. Finally results of simulations of normal 2-D GG by the statistical method and by a direct model (curvature driven grain boundaries (GBs)) are presented which exhibit good agreement with one another. It is shown by this comparison that the possibility of finding by such direct methods a self similar SDF as long time asymptote can be excluded because, in contrast to the simulations based on the statistical theory, for the direct models the very large computational capacities required for the long simulation times are not available yet. The conclusion repeatedly claimed in literature that the true self similar SDF deviates from the Hillert distribution can thus be shown not to be justified.
