Density Functional Theory of Inhomogeneous Liquids: III. Liquid-Vapor Nucleation
James F. Lutsko
The process of nucleation of vapor bubbles from a superheated liquid and of liquid droplets from a supersaturated vapor is investigated using the Modified-Core van der Waals model…
Theoretical description of the nucleation of vapor bubbles in a superheated fluid
James F. Lutsko
The nucleation of vapor bubbles within a superheated fluid is studied using density functional theory. The nudged elastic band technique is used to find the minimum energy pathway…
Dependence of the liquid-vapor surface tension on the range of interaction: a test of the law of corresponding states
Patrick Grosfils, James F. Lutsko
The planar surface tension of coexisting liquid and vapor phases of a fluid of Lennard-Jones atoms is studied as a function of the range of the potential using both Monte Carlo sim…
Density Functional Theory of Inhomogeneous Liquids: II. A Fundamental Measure Approach
James F. Lutsko
Previously, it has been shown that the direct correlation function for a Lennard-Jones fluid could be modeled by a sum of that for hard-spheres, a mean-field tail and a simple line…
