1. Sphericalness, Sphericitynoun

   Roundness; rotundity.

   Etymology: from sphere.

   Such bodies receive their figure and limits from such lets as hinder them from attaining to that sphericalness they aim at. Dig.

   Water consists of small, smooth, spherical particles: their smoothness makes ’em slip easily upon one another; the sphericity keeps ’em from touching one another in more points than one. George Cheyne, Phil. Princ.

1. Sphericity

   Sphericity is a measure of how closely the shape of an object resembles that of a perfect sphere. For example, the sphericity of the balls inside a ball bearing determines the quality of the bearing, such as the load it can bear or the speed at which it can turn without failing. Sphericity is a specific example of a compactness measure of a shape. Defined by Wadell in 1935, the sphericity, Ψ {\displaystyle \Psi } , of a particle is the ratio of the surface area of a sphere with the same volume as the given particle to the surface area of the particle:

1. sphericity

   Sphericity is a measure of how closely a three-dimensional object resembles a perfect sphere. It is defined as the ratio of the surface area of a perfect sphere, which has the same volume as the given object, to the surface area of the object. Higher sphericity indicates a closer resemblance to a sphere. This concept is used in various fields including mathematics, physics, and geology.

1. Sphericity

   Sphericity is a measure of how spherical an object is. As such, it is a specific example of a compactness measure of a shape. Defined by Wadell in 1935, the sphericity, of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere to the surface area of the particle: where is volume of the particle and is the surface area of the particle. The sphericity of a sphere is 1 and, by the isoperimetric inequality, any particle which is not a sphere will have sphericity less than 1.
