We investigate the value of the correlation function of an inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid at contact. This quantity plays a critical role in statistical associating fluid theory, which is the basis of a number of recently developed classical density functionals. We define two averaged values for the correlation function at contact and derive formulas for each of them from the White Bear versio...

The Percus’ test-particle method is extended to predict the interand intramolecular correlation functions of polymeric fluids using a density functional theory developed earlier @J. Chem. Phys. 117, 2368 ~2002!#. The calculated interand intramolecular distribution functions as well as the site–site correlation functions agree well with the results from Monte Carlo simulation for freely jointed ...

The large-scale vertical moist thermodynamic structure of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) was documented using the first 2.5 yr (2002–05) of version 4 atmospheric specific humidity and temperature profiles from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). In this study, this issue is further examined using currently available 7-yr version 5 AIRS data (2002–09) to test its dependence on the AIRS...
