Deformation and rotation in a polycrystalline system (2D, triangular symmetry). Ten crystals with θ ∈ [−5°, 5°) evenly spaced, random initial position, and radius are considered. The rows illustrate the coarsening dynamics with three stages by means of (a) A2, (b) ω, (c) εxy. (d) Relative volume of regions having similar tilt angle with uniform binning Δθ ≈ 0.2°: the initial condition (“Ini”, top panel) and stages reported in (a)–(c), labeled as left, center, and right, respectively (bottom panel), are shown.
