C-language program for the irregular close packing of hard spheres

Abstract
The paper presents a C-language program for the irregular close packing of equal haed spheres in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions using Jodrey and Tory's algorithm. For the nearest-neighbour searching of a given sphere the link-cell method is applied. The program has been developed for microcomputers/workstations so that it incorporates the sequential algorithm optimized for computational time demands.

Title of program: NSCP3D
Catalogue Id: ABZF_v1_0

Nature of problem
The program can be used to simulate the irregular close packing of equal hard spheres in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions, starting from the ensemble of randomly distributed points taken as initial positions of the sphere centres.
