Binary Disc Packings for Measuring Configurational Temperature

Experimental measurements of binary disc packings used to calculate configurational temperature via four distinct methods. Collected by Song-Chuan Zhao and published in 2020, the data evaluates the consistency of compactivity measurements in static granular media. The study specifically examines the intensive nature of thermodynamic variables in systems exceeding 200 particles.

Use Cases

• Comparing Voronoi volume distribution methods for calculating configurational temperature
• Analyzing the relationship between contact number and global volume fraction in jammed packings
• Testing the intensive property of thermodynamic variables in systems with over 200 particles

Strengths

• Includes experimental data for binary disc packings rather than purely synthetic models
• Supports four distinct calculation methods for configurational temperature
• Validated for intensive variable testing in samples exceeding 200 particles

Limitations

• Unknown record count and specific file formats
• Column headers and units are not explicitly defined in the provided metadata
• Restricted to binary disc geometries, excluding polydisperse or 3D systems
