ResumoA computer method to simulate random packing of equal and unequal spheres is presented. The packing is built under gravity, particle by particle. The specificities of the numerical method and computer organization are presented. The results show a good agreement with the literature data obtained by experimentation or computer methods. As regards the computer techniques previously proposed, the present method permits building of packings with high diameter ratios (e.g., 5) and increasing the density by up to 5% for continuous particle distributions.
