Heat conduction in a random packing of hard spheres is studied by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. We find a hard-sphere random packing shows higher thermal conductivity than a crystalline packing with same packing fraction. Under the same pressure, the random structure causes reduction of thermal conductivity by only 10% from crystalline packing, which is consistent with the experimental fact that amorphous materials can have high thermal conductivity which is comparable to that of crystals.
