New paper on thermodynamic perturbation theory for short-ranged fluids

The paper entitled Perturbation theories for fluids with short-ranged attractive forces: A case study of the Lennard-Jones spline fluid has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. It is generally not straightforward to apply molecular-thermodynamic theories to fluids with short-ranged attractive forces between ...
