  We present a systematic quasi-mean field model of the Ostwald ripening
process in two dimensions. Our approach yields a set of dynamic equations for
the temporal evolution of the minority phase droplets' radii. The equations
contain only pairwise interactions between the droplets; these interactions are
evaluated in a mean- field type manner. We proceed to solve numerically the
dynamic equations for systems of tens of thousands of interacting droplets. The
numerical results are compared with the experimental data obtained by
Krichevsky and Stavans for the relatively large volume fraction $\phi=0.13$. We
found good agreement with experiment even for various correlation functions.
