Numerical Calculation of Granular Entropy
Numerical Calculation of Granular Entropy
We present numerical simulations that allow us to compute the number of ways in which $N$ particles can pack into a given volume $V$. Our technique modifies the method of Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 245502 (2011)) and outperforms existing direct enumeration methods by more than 200 orders …
