Abstract

The kinetics of droplet growth in a heterogeneous nucleation process is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations, scaling theory and the Smoluchowski equation (1916). The exponent describing the scaling of the droplet size distribution and the growth law for the mean droplet size are calculated exactly. The simulation data are found to be consistent with the theoretical predictions in d=1, 2, and 3 dimensions.
