A simple and accurate equation of state for two-dimensional hard-body fluids.

A model relating the equation of state of two-dimensional linear hard-body fluids to the equation of state of the hard disk fluid is derived from the pressure equation in a similar way to that previously described for three-dimensional hard-body fluids. The equation of state reproduces simulation data practically within their accuracy for fluids with a great variety of molecular shapes. © 1995 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
