Abstract
The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations about the bed to develop a model of particle packing near containing walls. The results of the analysis are in good agreement with available experimental data.
