Calculation of mean distances between the randomly distributed particles in the model of points and hard spheres (the method of Voronoi polyhedra)
The method of Voronoi polyhedra is used to introduce the concept of nth neighbor. For hard spheres a theoretical dependence of the mean distance between the nth neighbors on the coefficient of filling was obtained. A simple formula was obtained to estimate the mean distance between the nth neighbors.
