Crossover in coarsening rates for the monopole approximation of the Mullins-Sekerka model with kinetic drag

The Mullins-Sekerka sharp-interface model for phase transitions interpolates between attachment-limited and diffusion-limited kinetics if kinetic drag is included in the Gibbs-Thomson interface condition. Heuristics suggest that the typical length-scale of patterns may exhibit a crossover in coarsen...
