Jamming transition evinced by Voronoi Tesselation

We calculated the Voronoi tessellation (VT) of simulations of two-dimensional granular system disturbed by an intruder. The intruder is kept fixed within a rectangular box containing certain amount of grains. Making the box to move against the intruder we calculated the VT for several instants of th...
