How to increase sample porosity (void fraction)?

Submitted by Sherif on Tue, 09/21/2021 - 15:01

I'm modelling a sample with superquadric particles. Particles are inserted using insert/stream into a cubic cell. When I measured the porosity (void fraction) of the whole sample after insertion, it's found to be 0.35 (sample is very dense). How could I increase this value in order to get looser packed samlpe.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, Sherif, could you please share your method to measure the porosity (void fraction) in LIGGGHTS?
Thanks
