A monograph examining recent progress in the field of inhomogeneous fluids, focusing on the theoretical - as well as experimental - techniques used. It presents the comprehensive theory of first-order phase transitions, including melting, and contains numerous figures, tables and display equations.;The contributors treat such subjects as: exact sum rules for inhomogenous fluids, explaining density functional and integral equation methods; exact solutions for two-dimensional homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasmas; current advances in the theory of interfacial electrochemistry; wetting experiments and the theory of wetting; freezing, with an emphasis on quantum systems and homogeneous nucleation in liquid-vapour and solid-liquid transitions; self-organizing liquids as well as kinetic phenomena in inhomogeneous fluids, using a modified Enskog theory.;Featuring over 1000 bibliographic citations, this volume is aimed at physical, surface, colloid and surfactant chemists; also physicists, electrochemists and graduate-level students in these disciplines.

Until recently, the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator method, though powerful and simple, has been considered as a half-heuristic one. This book is devoted to a rigorous generalization of this method as well as its applications to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The well-known idea of the description of dynamical system evolution in terms of collective dynamical variables has been developed to a functional perturbation theory, which results in the master equation of any given accuracy. Examples of statistical mechanics applications of the method include a linearized transport theory and explicit expressions for transport coefficients of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous liquids, which are in good agreement with experimental data and simulation results.

This dissertation reports on the computational physics research in the area of inhomogeneous fluids. I first discuss the theory background for this work beginning with water, which is important for the two published articles that are presented in this work (Chapters 5 and 6). Next, I give a brief overview of statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT), and discuss each free energy term and how it contributes to the SAFT free energy. I also give a short history of density functional theory (DFT) and discuss fundamental measure theory (FMT). I then present a classical DFT for water along with simulation and compar- isons with analytic data. Next, an improvement on the classical DFT for water is presented with a modified association free energy term. This improved DFT is compared to the previous theory and displays an overall improvement. I present a soft sphere fluid theory based on soft fundamental measure theory with a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) pair potential. I show that the results ofthis theory are as good as a Barker-Henderson hard sphere fluid for low densities and a range of temperatures. I then derive the potential for a soft wall composed of WCA particles which was used to test the soft fluid theory. Finally, I discuss a square well fluid theory that is currently incomplete. I present theory and up to our present work, display and discuss results, and mention possible problems.

This book gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the theory of "simple" liquids. The new second edition has been rearranged and considerably expanded to give a balanced account both of basic theory and of the advances of the past decade. It presents the main ideas of modern liquid state theory in a way that is both pedagogical and self-contained. The book should be accessible to graduate students and research workers, both experimentalists and theorists, who have a good background in elementary mechanics. Compares theoretical deductions with experimental results Molecular dynamics Monte Carlo computations Covers ionic, metallic, and molecular liquids

This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the theoretical and computer simulation techniques that are useful in the design of polymer formulations including personal care products, multiphase plastic materials, processed foods, and colloidal and nanoparticle dispersions. The book serves to unify previous work in a common language and provides a balanced treatment of analytical theory and numerical techniques, including an introduction to the exciting new field offield-theoretic polymer simulations - the direct numerical simulation of field theory models of meso-structured polymer melts, solutions, and dispersions.

Perturbation theory forms an important basis for predicting the thermodynamic characteristics of real fluids and solids. This book provides a comprehensive review of current perturbation theories-as well as integral equation theories and density functional theories-for the equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties of classical systems. Emphasizing practical applications, the book avoids complex theoretical derivations as much as possible. Appropriate for experienced researchers as well as postgraduate students, the text presents a wide-ranging yet detailed view and provides a useful guide to the application of the theories described.

The book may be viewed as an introduction to time-harmonic waves in dissipative bodies, notably viscoelastic solids and fluids. The inhomogeneity of the waves, which is due to the fact that planes of constant phase are not parallel to planes of constant amplitude, is shown to be strictly related to the dissipativity of the medium. A preliminary analysis is performed on the propagation of inhomogeneous waves in unbounded media and of reflection and refraction at plane interfaces. Then emphasis is given to those features that are of significance for applications. In essence, they regard surface waves, scattering by (curved) obstacles, wave propagation in layered heterogeneous media, and ray methods. The pertinent mathematical techniques are discussed so as to make the book reasonably self-contained.
