The first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) is enhanced for inhomogeneous fluids, accurately predicting density profiles near walls. This method offers a computationally efficient alternative to existing theories.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • The first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) is a theoretical tool for studying fluid properties.
  • Existing methods for inhomogeneous fluids have limitations in accuracy or computational cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the FMSA for analyzing inhomogeneous fluids.
  • To improve the prediction of fluid behavior near surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Combining FMSA with Rosenfeld's perturbative method.
  • Utilizing the FMSA's direct correlation function to build a free energy density functional.
  • Testing the method for Yukawa fluids near hard and attractive walls.

Main Results:

  • The extended FMSA accurately predicts density profiles for inhomogeneous Yukawa fluids.
  • Performance is comparable or superior to existing theories, especially near hard walls.
  • The method shows no significant difference compared to the full MSA and passes self-consistency tests.

Conclusions:

  • The extended FMSA provides a robust and accurate model for inhomogeneous fluids.
  • It offers a computationally efficient alternative to traditional mean-field and non-mean-field theories.
  • The approach is validated by its performance and computational speed.
