Thanks for posting a working script that demonstrates your question :-)
IINM you will always have some floaters when you use a uniform
distribution of spheres like this, especially with a range associated
with rRelFuzz=0.4 (very high!). 20% is very high. So you can decrease
your floaters by 3 methods 1/ reducing the range (reducing rRelFuzz), 2/
reaching a specified porosity after you reach your desired confining
pressure. Something like this (from examples/triax-tutorial[1]):
while triax.porosity>targetPorosity:
# we decrease friction value and apply it to all the bodies and contacts
compFricDegree = 0.95*compFricDegree
setContactFriction(radians(compFricDegree))
print "\r Friction: ",compFricDegree," porosity:",triax.porosity,
sys.stdout.flush()
# while we run steps, triax will tend to grow particles as the packing
# keeps shrinking as a consequence of decreasing friction. Consequently
# porosity will decrease
O.run(500,1)
3/ you can create "distant" by increasing the interactionRadius [2].
This will also decrease the number of floaters by creating a denser
network. Warning: this will increase the number of interactions for
networked particles too.
Cheers,
Robert
