Analytic solution of the molecular Ornstein–Zernike equation for nonspherical molecules. Spheres with anisotropic surface adhesion

The molecular Ornstein–Zernike equation is solved for a fluid of hard spheres with anisotropic surface adhesion yielding a small set of nonlinear algebraic equations which must be solved numerically in order to obtain structural and thermodynamic properties. It is argued that such a model may mimic the short-ranged, anistropic interactions encountered in hydrogen-bonded fluids such as water.
