Estimates the maximum random close packing fraction of hard spheres with a distribution of diameters, based upon an algorithm in J. Chem. Phys. 131, 244104 (2009).

Features

  • Estimates maximum packing fractions for mixtures of:
  • - monodisperse sphere size populations
  • - lognormal sphere size populations
  • Comes with a built in help page, using the -h option, and a verbose mode, using the -v option
  • Allows various parameters in the algorithm to be adjusted, but comes with a good set of defaults
  • Implements a fast (almost instantaneous) approximation for a single lognormal distribution, using the -s option
  • Attempts to adhere to the Unix tools philosophy
