A version of the Gaussian self-consistent (GSC) method, which avoids the use of the Edwards' virial expansion, is presented. Instead, the mean energy is evaluated directly via a convolution of the attractive part of the pair-wise non-bonded…

Precession driven flows are found in any rotating container filled with liquid, when the rotation axis itself rotates about a secondary axis that is fixed in an inertial frame of reference. Because of its relevance for planetary fluid…
A rotating system, such as a star, liquid drop, or atomic nucleus, may rotate as an oblate spheroid about its symmetry axis or, if the angular velocity is greater than a critical value, as a triaxial ellipsoid about a principal axis. The…
