Abstract

The Voronoi tessellation is used to study the geometrical arrangement of disordered packings of equal spheres. The statistics of the characteristics of the cells are compared to those of 3d natural foams. In the case of binary mixtures or polydisperse assemblies of spheres, the Voronoi tessellation is replaced by the radical tessellation. Important differences exist.
