Random close packing in a granular model

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-05-14 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We introduce a 2-dimensional lattice model of granular matter. We use a combination of proof and simulation to demonstrate an order/disorder phase transition in the model, to which we associate the granular phenomenon of random close packing.
