Abstract

The principal ways of mathematically describing boundaries of bulk (loose) ball packings are discussed. A model of the typical component of the ball packing and a procedure for determining the hydraulic resistance of the packing are proposed. The proposed method helps calculate the hydraulic resistance of packings of various shapes for selecting the optimum parameters.
