Dear Maxim, In the expression Dv=3mu_4/2mu_3 mu is related to the crystal RADIUS distribution, but in <L>v=3mu_4/4mu_3 mu is related to the crystal DIAMETER distribution
As for the instrumental and strain contributions, they may be correctly allowed for along with the size effect using the TCH pV function from which you may get estimations for VWDS and AWDS. See, for instance, EXAMPLE3 in the DDM suite where the refinement of the Ceria sample from the Size-Strain Round Robin is presented.
