Liquids flow, making them remarkably distinct from solids and close to gases. At the same time, interactions in liquids are strong as in solids. The combination of these two properties is believed to be the ultimate obstacle to constructing…
Recently we have proposed (J. Chem. Phys. 128 (2008) 134508) a new rescaling of fluid density $\rho $ by its critical value $\rho_c^{2/3}$ to apply the corresponding states law for the attractive Yukawa fluids study. Analysis of precise…
