Dense random packing correlations

Figure 60. Pair correlation function for dense random packings of hard disks. The inset shows an expanded view.

In studying the structure of liquids, the model of dense random packing (DRP-model) suggested by Bernal [6.7] played an important role. In this model determined by the algorithm of the structure formation from spheres interacting according to some law), the correlations in the mutual location of atoms rapidly decrease with distance and the cybotaxis or crystallite orderings are absent.
