Figure 10: (a) Log-log representation of the evolution of the aggregate diameter, normalized by particle mean diameter d, as a function of ns in assembly of spheres (disks symbols) and polyhedra (square symbols) at µ = 0. (b) Packing fraction ν of the aggregate as a function of ns in assembly of spheres (disks symbols) and polyhedra (square symbols) at µ = 0. The inset in (b) shows the variation of both, ν and dmax as a function of the inter-particle friction µ in aggregates of spheres for ns = 3375. Different colors correspond to different particle numbers.
