Hard-sphere Packing

Hard-Sphere Packing is a mathematical model in the study of close-packed structures that describes the arrangement of rigid, non-deformable spherical particles in dense configurations, where maximization of packing density is achieved through geometric optimization under the constraint of excluded volume.
