Abstract
An equation of state is proposed for an isotropic fluid of hard convex bodies in any number of dimensions. In general, only knowledge of the first three virial coefficients is required. In three dimensions an approximation can be used that involves a single nonsphericity parameter. The result appears to be very accurate as far as it can be tested against available computer simulations.Keywords
