Abstract :
In this paper. the effects of two different Particle Size Distributions (PSD) on packing behavior of ideal rigid spherical nanoparticles using a novel packing model based on parallel algorithms have been reported. A mersenne twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandom numbers for the particles initial coordinates. Also, for this purpose a nanosized tetragonal confined container with a square floor (300 * 300 nm) were used in this work. The Andreasen and the Lognormal PSDs were chosen to investigate the packing behavior in a 3D bounded region. The effects of particle numbers on packing behavior of these two PSDs have been investigated. Also the reproducibility and the distribution of packing factor of these PSDs were compared.
