چکیده
HIGHLIGHT Adrian Baule and Hernán A. Makse Fundamental challenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical treatment due to the strong positional and orientational correlations involved. In recent years progress on a fundamental description of jammed matter could be made by starting from a constant volume ensemble in the spirit of conventional statistical mechanics. Recent work has shown that this approach, first introduced by S. F. Edwards more than two decades ago, can be cast into a predictive framework to calculate the packing fractions of both spherical and non-spherical particles.

Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering.

متن کاملNumerical simulation of effect of non-spherical particle shape and bed size on hydrodynamics of packed beds
Fluid flow has a fundamental role in the performance of packed bed reactors. Some related issues, such as pressure drop, are strongly affected by porosity, so non-spherical particles are used in industry for enhancement or creation of the desired porosity. In this study, the effects of particle shape, size, and porosity of the bed on the hydrodynamics of packed beds are investigated with three ...
متن کاملArtifcial neural network approach for the prediction of terminal falling velocity of non-spherical particles through Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
The investigation of the terminal falling velocity of non-spherical particles is currently one of the most promising topics in sedimentation technology due to its great signifcance in many separation processes. In this study, the potential of Artifcial Neural Networks (ANNs) for the prediction of nonspherical particles terminal falling velocity through Newtonian and nonNewtonian (power law) liq...
متن کاملParticles Size Distribution Effect on 3d Packing of Nanoparticles Into a Bounded Region
In this paper, the effects of two different Particle Size Distributions (PSD) on packingbehavior of ideal rigid spherical nanoparticles using a novel packing model based on parallelalgorithms have been reported. A mersenne twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandomnumbers for the particles initial coordinates. Also, for this purpose a nanosized tetragonal confinedcontainer with a squar...
متن کاملLog-Normal and Mono-Sized Particles’ Packing into a Bounded Region
Many systems can be modeled with hard and various size spheres, therefore packing and geometrical structures of such sets are of great importance. In this paper, rigid spherical particles distributed in different sizes are randomly packed in confined spaces, using a parallel algorithm. Mersenne Twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandom numbers for initial coordination of particles. Di...
