Abstract

We propose a theoretical model of random binary assemblies of spheres at any packing fraction. We use the notion of geometrical neighborhood between grains that is defined through two generalizations of the Voronoi tessellation: the radical (or Laguerre) tessellation and the navigation map. The model is tested on different numerical packings. We find a weak local segregation for high packing fraction. We also find that the higher the size ratio of the particles, the more important the segregation.
