The melting line of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) system was recently determined accurately and compared to the predictions of four analytical hard-sphere approximations [Attia et al., J. Chem. Phys. 157, 034502 (2022)]. Here, we study…
It is shown that the transport coefficients (self-diffusion, shear viscosity, and thermal conductivity) of the Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid along isotherms exhibit a freezing density scaling (FDS). The functional form of this FDS is…
We apply second order Andersen-Weeks-Chandler perturbation theory to the one-component sticky-hard-spheres fluid. We compare the results with the mean spherical approximation, the Percus-Yevick approximation, two generalized Percus-Yevick…
We show that the dynamics of soft-sphere systems with purely repulsive interactions can be described by introducing an effective hard-sphere diameter determined using the Andersen-Weeks-Chandler approximation. We find that this…

The binary Kob-Andersen (KA) Lennard-Jones mixture is the standard model for computational studies of viscous liquids and the glass transition. For very long simulations the viscous KA system crystallizes, however, by phase separating into…

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and its properties under conditions of high temperature and pressure are crucial to understand the interior of of large gaseous planets and other astrophysical bodies. At ultra high…
