Correlation function algebra for inhomogeneous fluids
We consider variational (density functional) models of fluids confined in parallelplate geometries (with walls situated in the planes z = 0 and z = L respectively) and focus on the structure of the pair correlation function G(r1, r2). We show that for local variational models there exist two non-trivial identities relating both the transverse Fourier transform G(zμ, zν ; q) and the zeroth momen...
متن کاملModeling inhomogeneous van der Waals fluids using an analytical direct correlation function.
Rosenfeld's perturbative method [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 8126 (1993)]] for constructing the Helmholtz energy functional of classical systems is applied to studying inhomogeneous Lennard-Jones fluids, in which the key input-the bulk direct correlation function-is obtained from the first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 4140 (2003)]]. Preserving its high fidelity at the b...
متن کاملComplete scaling for inhomogeneous fluids.
"Complete scaling," which maps asymmetric fluid criticality onto the symmetric Ising model, is extended to spatially inhomogeneous fluids. This extension enables us to obtain a fluctuation-modified asymmetric interfacial density profile, which incorporates leading effects from the asymmetry of fluid phase coexistence and the asymmetry of the correlation length. The derived asymmetric interfacia...
متن کاملTheories of Equilibrium Inhomogeneous Fluids
I review two theoretical explanations for the existence of inhomogeneities in a fluid bilayer, such as the mammalian plasma membrane, which one might well expect to be homogeneous. The first is the existence of a phase separation. If biologically relevant temperatures are below the critical temperature of the separation, then these inhomogenieties are simply inclusions of one phase within the o...
متن کاملAn Improved Correlation for Second Virial Coefficients of Pure Fluids
In the present work, a modified correlation is presented for the second virial coefficients of both polar and nonpolar fluids based on the corresponding states principle. The second virial coefficients of gaseous polar and non-polar compounds were calculated and compared with experimental data and with other correlations. Comparisons with the existing correlations show that the present work is ...
