Notes. amin and amax are the minimum and maximum diameters of the grains, respectively. fmax is the shape factor in the DHS-model (Min et al. 2005a) and ρ is the bulk density of the solid material. For each species we assume a power-law grain size distribution with an index of −3.48. f is the mass fraction in each species.
