We present an algorithm to simulate the packing of large samples of spheres chosen from a truncated log-normal distribution for either correlated or uncorrelated distributions. Use of a concept known as the porosity index provides a means to control the final porosity of a packed sample within a range that spans limits approaching random close packing and random loose packing structures. Agreement with previous theoretical, computational, and experimental results is good, and results of previously uninvestigated correlated systems are presented. {} 1996 The American Physical Society.
