The fractal parameters are all held constant for the simulation, and they are the same for all the particles.
The fractal data file is specified by the parameters:
- frac_dim
(real, dimensionless): the fractal dimension (3 for spherical and less than 3 for agglomerate)
- prime_radius
(real, unit m): radius of primary particles
- vol_fill_factor
(real, dimensionless): the volume filling factor which accounts for the fact that even in a most closely packed structure the spherical monomers can occupy only 74% of the available volume (1 for compact structure)
