Abstract:In this paper, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the two-dimensional packing process of both monosized and random size particles with radii ranging from 1.0 µm to 7.0 µm. The initial positions as well as the radii of five thousand fine particles were defined inside a retangular box by using a random number generator. Both the translational and the rotational movement of each particle were considered in the simulations. In order to deal with interacting fine particles, we take into account… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
