Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello Huihuang,
You can compact a cloud of spheres to a specified porosity by following
the same steps used in [1]. However, the minimum possible porosity
really depends on your sphere size distribution. A wider distribution of
sphere sizes will enable lower porosity and the width of that
distribution is controlled by the arguments radius and rRelFuzz in
randomDensePack[2] and rMean and rRelFuzz in makeCloud[3].
Cheers,
Robert
