Hard disks confined within a narrow channel
J. M. Brader, E. Di Bernardo, S. M. Tschopp
We employ inhomogeneous integral equation theory to investigate the equilibrium properties of hard disks confined to a channel of width by hard parallel walls. If the channel w…
Routes to the density profile and structural inconsistency
S. M. Tschopp, H. Vahid, J. M. Brader
Classical density functional theory (DFT) is the primary method for investigations of inhomogeneous fluids in external fields. It requires the excess Helmholtz free energy function…
Combining integral equation closures with force density functional theory for the study of inhomogeneous fluids
S. M. Tschopp, H. Vahid, A. Sharma +1
Classical density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful framework to study inhomogeneous fluids. Its standard form is based on the knowledge of a generating free energy functional.…
Confined active particles with spatially dependent Lorentz force: an odd twist to the "best Fokker-Planck approximation"
René Wittmann, Iman Abdoli, Abhinav Sharma +1
We derive a version of the so-called "best Fokker-Planck approximation" (BFPA) to describe the spatial properties of interacting active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs) in arbi…
Asymptotic methods for confined fluids
Emmanuel di Bernardo, Joseph Brader
The thermodynamics and microstructure of confined fluids with small particle number are best described using the canonical ensemble. However, practical calculations can usually onl…
