Effect of grain shapes in coordination number from micro-CT image analysis of an unconsolidated sand

Coordination number (CN, average number of contacts a grain has with its neighbours inside a granular medium) appears to be one of the important parameters in contact based modelling of elastic properties including seismic velocities in unconsolidated sands. We analyse micro-CT images of two differe...
