[Methods] [Simulation 1] [Simulation 2] [Movies] [Additional Info]
We carried out simulations for two different cases of 101 spheres falling in a liquid-filled tube with radius 5.0. In the first case, the sizes of the spheres are chosen randomly with their radii being between 0.5 and 1.0. In the second case the radius of each sphere is 0.75. In both cases, the initial positions of the spheres are chosen randomly to fill up a segment of the tube. All spheres are initially at rest.
This simulation consists of 101 randomly placed spheres with radii between 0.5 and 1.0. Visit its own page here.
