The spacecraft "HAYABUSA" performed observations of asteroid "ITOKAWA" including high resolution pictures. These observations show that ITOKAWA is a rubble-pile asteroid which consists of the rocks piled up by universal gravity. Its unique shape and regolith distribution are caused by composition of universal gravity, friction, centrifugal force by spin and impacts. These impacts are given by collisions of small falling particles. In this study, the behaviors of various size particles of a rubble-pile asteroid in the space are analyzed by numerical simulations using multi-particle model. We focus the Brazil-Nut effect which is generally known as the phenomenon that causes the larger particles to rise to the top of the shaken granular mixtures in a container and the Arch effect which has an important role in that effect.
