Abstract

The paper presents an approach for calculation of the Voronoi network of a system of balls confined inside a cylindrical container. We propose to consider a boundary of a container as one of the elements of the system. Then the Voronoi network can be built for a system containing non-spherical particles. An explicit formula to compute the coordinates of the Voronoi vertex between a three balls and a cylinder are obtained. The approach is implemented in 3D and tested on the models of balls packing with different structure.
