Abstract
A model for solvation forces between two solute particles in a colloidal suspension is solved within the framework of the generalized van der Waals model (GvdW) of fluids. The results for this approximation are compared to machine simulations for a subcritical solvent. Density profiles, adsorption excess, and force of interaction are studied. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of liquid film formation between the particles as a function of interparticle distance. Theory and simulation are found to be in good overall agreement.Keywords
