Abstract
Two computer-simulated random packings of monosized spheres are characterized quantitatively. The wall effect and the anisotropy of the structure are studied. Two mean parameters, the number of particles and the number of contacts per unit volume, are determined as a function of the size of the field of measurement. The pair correlation function is established and the effect of gravity on the stackings is investigated.
Keywords : anisotropy, pair correlation function, simulated packing of spheres, wall effect
