Abstract
Abstract The influence of particle shape and surface roughness on the hydraulic mean radius are investigated, and quantitative measures for each are proposed. A particle shape factor is estimated with the aid of a new mathematical approximation for the surface area of an ellipsoid. The particle surface roughness is calculated based on inferences made from surface area data previously obtained for a sample of rocks described in Garga et al. (1991). The effect of surface roughness on the hydraulic mean radius was found to be greater than that of shape for this sample of crusher-run quarried limestone. A diagram is presented to show the relative importance particle shape and surface roughness.
