“…They used the PY closure relation and found the spherical harmonic expansion coefficients of the HE DCFs. The results were in agreement with those obtained from computer simulation [17,25]. Rickayzen and coworkers [26,27] introduced the two and three parameters which are based on an ansatz for the HE DCF.…”

“…The HGO model can be regarded as a simple and analytical representation of excluded volume interaction. Many works have been done to find the DCF of HE fluid [17,18] and HGO model [18][19][20]. An approximate DCF of HE proposed by Pynn [21] relies on the Percus-Yevick (PY) [22] analytic expression of hard sphere DCF, using angle dependent intermolecular separation.…”

The density profiles and corresponding order parameters of the hard ellipsoids confined between two hard walls and also in contact with a single hard wall are studied using the density functional theory. The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. To simplify the calculations we use restricted orientation model (ROM) for the orientation of ellipsoids to find the density profiles and order parameters. Density functional theory shows that there is a uniaxial-biaxial phase transition near a single hard wall and also between two hard walls for a fluid consisting of uniaxial hard ellipsoidal particles with finite elongation.
“…With this restriction the OZ equation can be solved as shown by Blum [15]. We applied this procedure according to the outlines given elsewhere [16]. The resulting DPCF expansion coefficients, c L 1 ,L 2 ,L (r ij ), decay to zero to O(10 −6 ) within the range of the intermolecular potential.…”
