Gaussian statistics of the hard-sphere fluid
نویسندگان
چکیده
By computer simulation of the hard-sphere fluid, we have determined the probabilities of observing N molecular centers within molecular sized volumes of the fluid. These probability distributions are found to be almost exactly Gaussian at medium densities. A maximum entropy prediction constructed from knowledge of the first two moments of the distribution and a prior distribution consistent with ideal gas behavior quantitatively predicts the occupation distribution for low and medium densities. @S1063-651X~97!07110-9#

Solvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملMultiple-point and multiple-time correlation functions in a hard-sphere fluid.
A recent mode-coupling theory of higher-order correlation functions is tested on a simple hard-sphere fluid system at intermediate densities. Multiple-point and multiple-time correlation functions of the densities of conserved variables are calculated in the hydrodynamic limit and compared to results obtained from event-based molecular dynamics simulations. It is demonstrated that the mode-coup...
متن کاملAnalytic Equation of State for the Square-well Plus Sutherland Fluid from Perturbation Theory
Analytic expressions were derived for the compressibility factor and residual internal energy of the square-well plus Sutherland fluid. In this derivation, we used the second order Barker-Henderson perturbation theory based on the macroscopic compressibility approximation together with an analytical expression for radial distribution function of the reference hard sphere fluid. These properties...
متن کاملThe Modified Lennard-Jones and Devonshire Equation of State
Lennard-Jones-Devonshire equation of state is an old but theoretical based EOS. The concept of the nearest neighboring molecules or coordination number is proposed to be a function of temperature and volume, whereas it is a constant in the original. The dilute gas and hard sphere limits of molecules are employed to determine this function. Improvement of this modification is demonstrated by pro...
متن کاملVoronoi neighbor statistics of hard-disks and hard-spheres.
The neighbor distribution in hard-sphere and hard-disk fluids is analyzed using Voronoi tessellation. The statistical measures analyzed are the nth neighbor coordination number (Cn), the nth neighbor distance distribution [fn(r)], and the distribution of the number of Voronoi faces (Pn). These statistics are sensitive indicators of microstructure, and they distinguish thermodynamic and annealed...
