Ellipsoid packing
text:
In geometry, ellipsoid packing is the problem of arranging identical ellipsoid throughout three-dimensional space to fill the maximum possible fraction of space. The currently densest known packing structure for ellipsoid has two candidates,
a simple monoclinic crystal with two ellipsoids of different orientations and
a square-triangle crystal containing 24 ellipsoids in the fundamental cell. The former monoclinic structure can reach a maximum packing fraction around 0.77073 for ellipsoids with
