Pressure-Consistent Integral Equations

Abstract
The behavior of the Hurst and Rowlinson—Carley—Lado pressure‐consistent equations for the Lennard‐Jones (6–12), hard‐sphere, and Gaussian potentials and their dependence on the adjustable parameters m and φ are discussed. Numerical solutions of the Hurst and Rowlinson—Carley—Lado equations are compared with the Percus—Yevick, PY2, hypernetted chain, and Monte‐Carlo results. It is shown that the pressure‐consistent equations are more satisfactory for the hard‐sphere potential than the Lennard‐Jones potential.
