Hard spheres information


Hard spheres are widely used as model particles in the statistical mechanical theory of fluids and solids. They are defined simply as impenetrable spheres that cannot overlap in space. They mimic the extremely strong ("infinitely elastic bouncing") repulsion that atoms and spherical molecules experience at very close distances. Hard spheres systems are studied by analytical means, by molecular dynamics simulations, and by the experimental study of certain colloidal model systems.

Beside being a model of theoretical significance, the hard-sphere system is used as a basis in the formulation of several modern, predictive Equations of State for real fluids through the SAFT approach, and models for transport properties in gases through Chapman-Enskog Theory.
