4 86 S URFACE E FFECTS Figure 4.12 Estimation of the surface term in the thermodynamic limit F ∞ 2 (Eq. (4.6) ) vs. L for the LJ fluid at T = 2 and ρ = 0.4 (dimensionless units). The values of F ∞ 2 are computed for systems with varying number of molecules N . The used RDFs are provided in Figure 4.5. Figure 4.13 Surface effects of finite subvolumes multiplied by the radius of the subvolume LF V (Eq. (4.5) ) vs. L for the LJ fluid at T = 2 and ρ = 0.4 (dimensionless units). The values of G V are computed for systems with varying number of molecules N . The used RDFs are provided in Figure 4.5.
