Theses

The study of random packing of spheres has had a long history. It particularly interests many researchers because randomly packed hard spheres exhibit some features of the properties of simple liquid, e.g. the packing density and the radial distribution. Many researchers have studied random packing both experimentally and also by using computer simulation.

Monte Carlo simulation method was used to generate random loose packing of hard spheres. Packing characteristics like packing density, radial distribution function, co-ordination, angular distribution and fabric tensor have been computed for this packing system.

The packing density for a system of 8000 particles with a diameter …
