ABSTRACT
The packing of uniform fine spherical particles ranging from 1 to 1000µm has been simulated by means of discrete particle simulation. The packing structure is analysed, facilitated by the well established Voronoi tessellation. The topological and metric properties of Voronoi polyhedra, such as number of edges and faces, area and volume, etc. are quantified as a function of particle size and packing density. The results have also been compared with those reported in the literature, and the difference is attributed to the difference in simulation technique.
