Some structural properties of packed bed systems on both the local and overall scales which are available in the literature and of interest in chemical engineering applications are discussed. Regular and random packings of uniformly sized spheres are initially analyzed as a basis for the later examination of the more general case of random packed beds containing particles of various sizes and shapes, with or without restraining surfaces.
